Kindle Scribe is a tablet equipped with an electronic ink display that is ideal for reading with reduced light reflection. The body is only 5.8mm thin, weighs 430g, has a display size of 10.2 inches and a resolution of 300ppi. The display is equipped with the same color tone adjustment light as the Kindle Paperwhite , and since it does not consume as much battery as the liquid crystal display or organic EL display, it can be used for several months without charging. Specifically, if you read for 30 minutes a day, the battery will last for 12 weeks, and if you write for 30 minutes a day, the battery will last for 3 weeks.

There are two types of dedicated pens, a standard pen and a premium pen, and neither need to be charged. The pen can be fixed to the side of the main unit with a magnet, and you can use various functions familiar with drawing tools such as line width change tool, highlighter tool, eraser tool, and 'undo' tool. For premium pens, there is a customizable shortcut button on the top of the pen, and it is also possible to make the other side of the pen tip function as an eraser or highlighter. If you choose a model with a premium pen, the selling price will increase by 4000 yen.

It supports the function to add handwritten sticky notes to book content purchased from the Kindle Store, allowing you to write notes on your favorite books using a standard pen. The sticky notes you wrote down are automatically saved, and you can browse and read them back for each book, or export them via email. Note that some Kindle books, such as manga, magazines, and some practical books, do not support the sticky note function.

Document files other than books can also be imported into the main unit, and you can write notes on PDF files and add sticky notes to documents such as Microsoft Word. Captured documents and notes can be exported via email and will be accessible from the Kindle app in early 2023. And in early 2023, you will be able to send documents directly from Microsoft Word to Kindle Scribe.
