Kindle Scribe 2 review: Is slightly useful AI worth the extra cash? |
https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/kindle-scribe-2-review-in-progress-is-slightly-useful-ai-worth-the-extra-cash-140018638.html?src=rss
|
My hand is cramping It s not carpal tunnel or some other dubious reason that s causing the pain It s an analog ache that is oddly satisfying in a nostalgic way In the last few days I ve held a pen and written more words for a much longer time than I have ever done in years As I pushed myself to handwrite large parts of this review to spend more time with the Kindle Scribe s stylus and note taking tools I started to feel a sensation I hadn t remembered since my teens I often feel the urge to jot down thoughts and lists but I never really wanted to spend longer than minutes writing And yet Amazon s new AI features for the Kindle Scribe seem to cater more to those who labor over essays or missives that they ultimately need to share with others The Summarize and Refine tools for your notebooks for example can shorten and neaten up your scrawl so I guess you can send it to another person to read That s it really The other improvements to the Scribe s writing experience are for scribbling on books which I ll get to in a bit Update February Since this review was published in December Amazon released new software in February that brings collapsible margins to the Kindle Scribe Now that I ve been able to evaluate that feature as well as spend more time with the Scribe and its competitors like the reMarkable Paper Pro I am ready to assign a score which you ll see below For the most part the new collapsible margins don t drastically affect my experience with the Kindle Scribe As someone who mostly reads fiction and self help books I don t often find myself itching to scribble in the columns of a page In the months since I published the review the Scribe has served me well as a general ereader that is a perfectly functional notebook I actually found the feature that converts my handwriting into legible text more useful than I thought it would be since I frequently write down my team s priorities and sending a cleaned up version is more professional than passing along my scrawl It also saves me some time as I don t have to retype every word I do have to point out though that now that I have a reMarkable Paper Pro in for testing it s clear the latter is the superior product for writing reMarkable s software accommodates both handwritten and typed writing in the same document and its app lets you edit those notes from your phone It s everything I wanted the Scribe to do and performs well enough that I am tempted to shell out the a month to keep using it Of course if you re more of a reader who occasionally wants to mark up books s ketch out some floorplans or make to do lists the Scribe is better thanks to Amazon s huge library of titles The rest of my original review follows below What s changed on the new Kindle Scribe As I said earlier most of what s new on the Kindle Scribe is internal On the outside Amazon did tweak the bezels not in actual size but in colors so that there s a white rectangle surrounding the screen within a teal green column on the side If you opted for the tungsten version then instead of teal green you ll see dark gray I love the new color but it s a bit confusing and makes me think the grippable area is narrower than before when in fact it s about the same Still this is a small complaint if that and one that is mostly mitigated by how fresh the new version looks The other main change is on the Premium Pen which now has a rubberized top for its faux eraser I ve always appreciated how easy this was to use on the original Kindle Scribe and I m happy to report that the updated texture doesn t get in the way of responsiveness It certainly feels enough like erasers of my youth that every now and then I find myself subconsciously swiping away phantom dust I will point out though that I had to remind myself to use the eraser on a few occasions since I was more accustomed to simply striking out a mistake with the pen The new Premium Pen also has a customizable shortcut button so long pressing it can activate the highlighter pen marker pencil eraser canvas or sticky note Drawing on books on the new Kindle Scribe Finally in addition to the two AI related tools I already mentioned Amazon also updated how you can write on ebooks As I described in my hands on in October the new Active Canvas feature makes it so that once you put your pen on the page a box will appear to contain your writing Compared to the clunky implementation on the older model which required you to first go to the floating toolbar on the left of every page select the sticky note feature and then write in it this seemed a huge improvement In my testing so far though this was less impressive The software was buggy in my experience On one occasion I drew a spiral over the words We had a good yarn about old times in an Agatha Christie novel A translucent box appeared containing my drawing in a layer above the text with a check mark and cross at the top You re supposed to tap the check which will cause the box to fully solidify and the rest of the page s words will rearrange themselves to make room However when I hit X by accident the box didn t go away and I was able to continue to add doodles all over the screen When I flipped to a different part of the book and came back though it disappeared only to reappear later when I was trying to underline something That s clearly just a bug and when executed as intended Active Canvas does work You can resize the box and lines will continue to reflow to make room or snap back into place The boxes will stay where you left them instead of disappearing under a little tag the way they did with the original Scribe It s a slight improvement and though I can t yet imagine how I d use it in real life it s nice to know it s there I do have to point out a couple of caveats though This doesn t work on samples ーyou can tell whether the Active Canvas is supported by checking if the floating toolbox is present The other issue which is a bigger one is that Active Canvas can sometimes be triggered even when you re just trying to underline something Drawing lines under or on text will generate underlines which will be indexed by Amazon the same way highlights are so you can easily find them again later on Cherlynn Low for Engadget It s pretty annoying when you re trying to underline some text and the words jump away to make room for a box you never wanted to appear It gets even more frustrating when due to the lag you have to wait for seconds for the box to go away after you tap the X on top of it Worse that bug I mentioned earlier caused the spiral and other doodles I had drawn to show up where I was trying to underline words Thankfully I was able to delete that when it reappeared and had no more phantom boxes These little hiccups would be less of a problem if Amazon weren t already behind its competitors Similar products from companies like Kobo already offer better support for writing on books where you can circle specific words and the drawing will stay in place though this is wonky if you resize the text afterwards I understand that Amazon has to manage the resizability of its content to support people who often change up font sizes while reading There needs to be a better way One might be coming At the Kindle s launch event the company did preview a collapsible margins feature which lets you scribble in the column on either side of every book Importantly you ll be able to resize these columns and the space in them can scroll vertically giving you plenty of room to cram in your musings Sadly this feature is only going to be available in early so I wasn t able to test it out It s also worth noting that the original Kindle Scribe which continues to retail for will be getting the Active Canvas and generative AI features as well as the collapsible margin when that arrives Generative AI features on the new Kindle Scribe Where things feel more finished is in Notebooks where Amazon has had to contend with fewer limitations This section contains your lists jotpads and works of art Like you could on the original you can select from a variety of backgrounds like lines a dot grid or even planner or calendar views It s here that you ll find the new Summarize and Refine tools by tapping on the sparkles icon on the top menu bar Selecting either Summarize or Refine writing will bring up the option to work Amazon s magic on the page you re on or the entire notebook After you decide the Kindle will get to work using cloud based processing to generate either a summary of your words or a tidied up version of your chicken scratch This usually took about to seconds depending on the length of the source material Once a result is returned you ll also get the option to customize the font and line spacing as well as the ability to add it to the end or beginning of your notebook Screenshots Engadget I was surprised to see the Scribe make sense of a disorganized plan I made for reviews coverage that involved some lists with three in a row up top two at the bottom and three lining the right side The Refine tool accurately laid them out in sequential order giving me a list of lists starting with the one I had in the top left position and ending with the tiny one titled OSes that I had squeezed in below iPads at the bottom right The summary it returned for this example was also decent and in all the other notes I tested I saw largely accurate results Any mistake the system made felt reasonable since I have horrible handwriting It s not really the Scribe s fault that it thought I wrote Addly when really I just had an extremely malformed n and a barely legible g at the end of Adding When I did make an effort to write more neatly the Scribe was more accurate but that almost feels like it defeats the purpose If I m going to try to write better for the AI so it can make my handwriting neater for others to read then how is that different from making a greater effort for humans As competent as the generative AI features here have been I still remain hesitant to call them useful I m not the sort of person that likes writing long enough to need AI summarization to that end you ll need to have at least words on a page to qualify for Summarize I also don t generally share my handwritten thoughts with other people though on the extremely rare occasion that I do I could see Refine being a good start Screenshots Engadget The problem is that Refine isn t always accurate and its generated result isn t editable If I could go in and correct Addly then I might not mind sending that document to my team Or if that were the only mistake in the refined writing I could share the note and tell my friends to ignore the one error But I d have to write a whole new appendix just to clarify the mistakes at which point I might as well type up my original thoughts Neither Refine nor Summarize are groundbreaking new features in generative AI or even note taking either Apple offers a version of Refine on the new iPadOS while Summarize is something we ve seen all over products from Google Apple OpenAI Samsung and more While I respect that Amazon has largely avoided chasing hype with its adoption of generative AI on the Kindle Scribe I need more time and testing to better understand how useful it might be in the long run What I like about the Kindle Scribe so far As I did with the original I do like the Scribe a lot It offers a smooth convenient writing experience in a svelte relatively light package that s just inches thick and weighs grams pounds None of those dimensions have changed in the second gen model though the inch screen somehow seemed sharper to me despite having the same brightness and pixel density Reading on such a roomy canvas is a joy although I prefer to take the Paperwhite on the go since it s a lot easier on my wrist That expanse can be helpful for those with visual impairments that might need a much larger font for example I ve also liked doodling on PDFs and write on books The latter is a category of titles in the Kindle store that are formatted so you can doodle directly on them I borrowed a couple of these through my Kindle Unlimited subscription and had a blast solving cryptography and Sudoku puzzles I did see some promising books in this category like interactive or hyperlinked planners but the customer reviews for those put me off There is a lot of potential in that space though that could make the Kindle Scribe far more useful I just wish Amazon would invest more in the format and make a notebook you can write on that would also work with your phone s calendar or reminders app and seamlessly integrate what you write on your planner into your digital universe What I don t like about the Kindle Scribe Alas that is not a reality And the reality is that there are quite a lot of things Amazon could stand to improve While I can understand that finding a way to keep a loose stylus attached to a tablet is challenging the magnetic edge that the Premium Pen can latch onto is just a precarious approach I was walking into my apartment with the Kindle Scribe in my hand and jostled the door by accident Two seconds later I was wondering where the stylus had gone It was on the floor and when I picked it up I noticed the nib was slanted I didn t know if I had damaged it and though it still worked well I eventually saw some scratches on the Scribe s screen that I suspect might not have been there had the pen not dropped due to a light knock against a doorframe The company does include some replacement nibs in the box so fixing this is fairly easy Cherlynn Low for Engadget I also really wish Amazon s Notebooks were more versatile They re better than they were with the original Scribe but you still can t edit them in the mobile Kindle app You can view your Notebooks there which is nice but it s slightly annoying that they re listed in alphabetical order instead of based on what s recently been opened like they are on the Kindle Amazon rates the new and original Scribes as having the same battery life ーthat is up to three weeks if you write for about half an hour a day and up to weeks if you read for that same amount of time In my review of the older model I saw battery numbers drop percent in about a week with lots of writing and testing With the new Kindle Scribe the power level is currently at percent after coming out of the box at percent just a couple of days ago I have been testing its AI writing and annotating features pretty relentlessly in that time and usually see the percentage fall one or two points whenever I generate an AI summary or refinement too I ll need much more time to get a better sense of how the new Kindle Scribe s battery holds up under more normalized use but if it behaves like its predecessor I shouldn t need to charge it more than once every couple of months Wrap up Amazon s new Kindle Scribe has a lot of competition from companies like Kobo Boox and reMarkable And with a price of the new Scribe is a whopping costlier than its predecessor which will also get a lot of the new software updates To be fair the new Scribe comes with a Premium Pen for the price while the cheaper model only includes a Basic Pen so you re partially paying more for a better stylus While I do like the new color option and slightly improved annotation capabilities I m not sure Amazon has done enough to justify the additional cost here I d much rather see the company focus its efforts on improving its Notebook syncing and mobile editing software as well as investing in innovating on the write on book format than chase the generative AI trend No matter how much restraint it s exercised in doing so Still Kindles the Scribe included remain some of the best ereaders around and are pretty much the most obvious choice for anyone already invested in Amazon s ecosystem This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
