My Christmas gift this year was a Kindle Scribe, which I wasn't in the market for--why would I want an oversized e-reader that you could write on? If I'd wanted a tablet, I would have bought one. But now that I have one, I'm shocked at how compelling the reading experience was: like handling a hardcover book, rather than a mass market paperback. So many words on the screen before you have to hit the page turn!
It feels incredibly luxurious. Then I tried the stylus and shockingly, I enjoy drawing on the Scribe more than I have enjoyed drawing with any other tablet I've used (and I've had every kind, it feels like, since the Koala Pad in 1983!). The e-ink surface creates friction in a way no LCD manages. Everyone who's tried it has been shocked at how good the writing experience feels.
Am I going to use the Scribe frequently, as a replacement for sketching in other ways? I don't see
it. But I have surprised myself by using it to do a quick doodle to clear my thoughts between chapters of whatever I'm reading. Maybe that bodes well....
Anyone else have a Scribe? I find myself being willing to recommend the experience, especially if you have not-so-great vision and like big fonts and lots of real estate on the page.
