The Scribe is neat, but it's too small (same goes for the Remarkable devices).
It wish it was A4/Letter size to read PDFs at full size. There are a few devices like that out there (I've heard the Fujitsu Quaderno is nice), but none of them can be used with books purchased at Amazon.
And yes, I know about Calibre and the DeDRM tools. They don't work on KFX files and the workarounds degrade the book (you lose typography improvements that are only in KFX).
I'm also disappointed by the Oasis being discontinued. I wanted to trade mine in for a USB-C version.

- mariusor 2y agoThe current 10inch devices are quite expensive, you can imagine what a 14inch color e-ink screen would be at almost twice the surface size.
- criddell 2y agoThe Quaderno is monochrome, not color. You can buy them for $600 right now. If it worked with Amazon and had a USB-C port, I'd order one today.
- jeremycarter 2y agoHave you seen the TCL Nxtpaper 14? It's huge! I'd imagine reading a textbook on it would be as good as the real thing.
- criddell 2y agoIf only it wasn't running Android. I actually like that the Scribe and Remarkable are dedicated devices. I'd like to see one because I'm a little skeptical about the screen. Is it as readable in sunlight as the Kindle?
- jeremycarter 2y agoIt's nothing to write home about, but you know its just "okay". The best part about the NXTPAPER devices is their price point. Perhaps NXTPAPER generation 4 will be better?
