"I wanted to love Amazon's $630 Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. It has everything I covet. An E Ink display with front lighting and color. A pressure-sensitive stylus. The ability to take notes and annotate my existing library of ebooks. A distinct lack of distracting apps. And, for a certain type of person, this is the sweet spot between an iPad, an analog journal, and a regular e-reader."
"Here's the rub: The Colorsoft's hardware is excellent, so long as you're cool with E Ink's limitations. For instance, there's always some pixelation, colors aren't vibrant, and you'll always see some ghosting after the page refreshes - though Amazon's done a great job of minimizing that. Battery life is superb. I haven't even thought about charging in the week I've been testing it."
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft pairs a color E Ink display with front lighting and a pressure-sensitive Premium Pen for handwritten notes and ebook annotation. The hardware delivers pleasant stylus feel and excellent battery life while minimizing ghosting and other E Ink artifacts. Color vibrancy and pixelation remain constrained by E Ink technology, affecting visual satisfaction. The device occupies a niche between tablets, analog journals, and traditional e-readers. High cost and reduced portability compared with smaller e-readers limit its attractiveness for users who prioritize compactness or traditional paper journaling tools.
