Amazon Kindle Scribe (32GB, 2025 model)

The Kindle Scribe (32GB, 2025 model) is an 11-inch e-ink notebook with a Premium Pen that never needs charging. It lets you mark up PDFs and contracts, write notebooks, convert handwriting to text and summarise notes with AI, running for weeks per charge. The one thing to know: the Kindle ecosystem lock-in is real.

Is the Kindle Scribe a good business notebook?

• Third-generation hardware (November 2025): 11-inch 300ppi screen, 5.4mm thick, 400g, front light.
• Notebooks export as PDF or text by email or to OneNote rather than syncing to a shared drive; AI features run in the cloud.
• Books come from the Kindle Store only; EPUBs and other stores need conversion.
• Reviewers rate it the best e-ink note-taker for reading-heavy users, while reMarkable Paper Pro and Boox offer more open file handling.

Pricing reads: See current price on Amazon. The variant with a Kindle Unlimited trial auto-renews at $11.99 a month; the no-front-light Scribe and the Scribe Colorsoft are different listings. It appears in our 10-person office tech kit; more in everyday tech.

Who should skip it

Anyone who needs notes to sync into a file share should choose the reMarkable. Anyone who mainly reads should buy the cheaper Paperwhite.

What reviewers say

• Tom's Guide called the 2025 model an excellent update for its larger 11-inch screen, lighter body and easy note-taking, while finding annotation of ebook text a chore. (Tom's Guide, Dec 2025)
• TechRadar judged it "the best note-taking Kindle yet" and arguably the best digital notebook in the Kindle line, but said its height and price make it unwieldy. (TechRadar, Jul 2026)
• Good e-Reader scored 4.4/5, praising the 300 ppi panel, the battery-free Premium Pen and a much faster processor, and noting notebooks sync to Google Drive and OneDrive; it marked down the price, the lack of waterproofing and the limited templates. (Good e-Reader, Mar 2026)

Consensus: The three reviews agree the third generation is the first Scribe that feels finished as hardware. The shared caveats are price and the closed Kindle ecosystem for books, and writing inside ebooks still trails writing in notebooks.
