If, looking through your bookshelf, your books have dog-eared pages, highlighted lines, and scribbles in the margins, your instinct might be that an e-reader isn’t for you, but I’d like to introduce you to the Kindle Scribe. It’s the only Kindle with writing capabilities and comes with an included stylus pen that magnetically attaches to the side of the e-reader; it’s ready for all your handwritten thoughts.
The pen moves nicely across the screen, mimicking the texture of writing on paper. In addition to a library of books, the Kindle Scribe also comes with a journal section where you can take notes. The notes feature is especially great for students who want to handwrite notes and convert their handwriting into text.

The 2025 Kindle Scribe got a much-needed upgrade. All the good stuff has held over with the addition of some major improvements.
It’s still big, with an 11-inch display, which does make it a little more awkward to hold while reading, but for writing or annotating, it’s optimal. Unlike other tablets (I’m looking at you, iPads) that require you to buy a pen separately, the Kindle Scribe comes with a pen that conveniently attaches to the side so it doesn’t get lost. However, it’s not the most secure magnetic hold, so be careful not to bump the pen off accidentally.
Writing on the Kindle Scribe is a joy. Before testing this e-reader, I used my iPad and Apple Pencil to annotate readings, but I never loved it because the screen felt too slick for the Apple Pencil. The Kindle Scribe does not suffer this problem, as the matte screen lends some friction to the pen, making it feel like you’re writing on paper. I enjoyed writing with the pen, and I swear my handwriting looked better on the Kindle Scribe than on my iPad.
It finally got a processing update that makes it as speedy as every other Kindle. Gone is the lag when switching between journals and books. Plus, the displays have greatly improved, too, as the 2025 Kindle Scribe has virtually no ghosting. Like the Kindle Paperwhite, the Scribe’s battery life lasts 12 weeks. It also has multiple storage options, as you can choose between 32GB or 64GB.
It’s not your only option if you want a Kindle that can write. The Scribe Colorsoft is also available, and while we appreciate that model, it’s quite a bit more expensive. The 2025 Scribe is a better value, it just doesn’t have the wow factor of color.
