2025 kindle scribe colorsoft vs 2024 remarkable paper pro, I want a device for note-taking, reading colored comics and reading eBooks mostly textbooks in .pdf files. Which device should I get?

I currently have both. RPP is the best for note taking and more open OS. Scribe Colorsoft is best for reading ebooks/comics and being able to write notes within your ebooks. I enjoy writing on the RPP more. Scribe Colorsoft doesn’t require a paid subscription for cloud syncing or searching handwritt

Good E reader for beginners?

Color: Kobo Libra Colour / Kindle Colorsoft Text-based books: Kobo Clara BW / Kindle Paperwhite My personal recommendation: Kobo Libra Color. It’s the most user-friendly for sideloaded content.

Any NetGalley users impacted by the older kindle support dropping?

They work pretty well. I traded in my 2012 kindle fire towards a colorsoft earlier this year. I wasn’t using it often, mostly just for comics and graphic novels, since I had another ereader but it functioned normally (just shorter battery life).

Какую электронную книгу купить в 2026?

С января пользуюсь kindle colorsoft, в целом нравится, но если сравнивать с paperwhite 12 поколения, то сразу заметно, какой у читалки блеклый экран)) Из минусов ещё цену можно назвать, и подсветку. Но мне нравится, что обложки на книгах цветные, заставка тоже. Тут ещё комментаторы говорили, что яко

What kind of features should I look out for?

I have two readers - a Kindle Oasis from 2019 and a Pocketbook Era I just got recently. I like the Pocketbook more than the Kindle but only because I've become familiar with non-Amazon sources for books. As far as the two devices go the Pocketbook is more finicky, has quirks the Kindle does not have

The device I want does not exist (10inches, BW, 300ppi, non kindle non android) ?

I think that's the main takeaway. There is no perfect device. There'll be compromises on whichever device you choose. If all the software bugs hadn't started appearing on the scribe colorsoft I would've kept it. Kindles software and hardware are very well built imo. Thanks to kcc it's easy enough to

2025 kindle scribe colorsoft vs 2024 remarkable paper pro, I want a device for note-taking, reading colored comics and reading eBooks mostly textbooks in .pdf files. Which device should I get?

i've used both for pdf textbooks. the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft handles comics better because amazon's color screen has more saturation. but for pdf navigation and note-taking, the reMarkable Paper Pro is way faster at zooming and annotating. kindle software is sluggish with large pdfs. if your textbo

Does anyone know if I order a new kindle if it will come automatically updated to 5.19 firmware?

Try BestBuy! Managed to get a Colorsoft on 5.18.0.2 last week. I think 3rd party retailers probably have older firmware stock compared to Amazon.

Portable device with Notetaking abilities. No bigger than 8 inches.

The Colorsoft has very little flashing and I don't doubt that the same screen is used but Amazon implements something in their software and has something in the hardware different as well. It's definitely way way better than any Boox device.
