Finally, Amazon has made a Kindle you’ve got the option to write on.
E-Ink is used for many things, not just e-readers like the Kindle and Kobo.

“It’s good for students, writers, researchers, and historians alike.
The Kindle Scribe is perfect for users who like to take notes and annotate what they read.
I’m excited to get my hands on one!”

These advantages also apply to e-ink note-taking tablets like theBooxrange or theReMarkable 2.
They’re typically slimmer and lighter than tablets, too.
Also, these e-notebooks make killer e-readers.
Basic, which just writes, and Premium, which adds a virtual eraser, and a shortcut button.
The Scribe is also interesting because it doesn’t compete directly with Boox and the ReMarkable.
Kobo vs Kindle
The direct rival to the Scribe, then, isKobo’s Elipsa.
The Elipsa has a 10.3-inch, 227 dpi screen, front light, and stylus.
And the Elipsa, like the Scribe, lacks physical page-turning buttons.
Other than the screen, like most Kobos and Kindles, it comes down to which software you prefer.
After using the Kindle for years, I now prefer the Kobo for its typography and user interface.
If you’re interested, you will be able to get onelater this year, starting at $340.
