I’m a big fan of the Remarkable Paper Pro, but Amazon’s new Kindle Scribe looks pretty impressive. Here’s how they compare.
At its recent fall hardware launch, Amazon showcased its two new e-readers designed for note-taking: the Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, solidifying its position in the premium paper tablet market.
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is the first full-color note-taking e-reader Kindle and competes against the ReMarkable Paper Pro, a colorized paper tablet and fantastic device in its own right with a stalwart following for its robust feature set and smooth writing experience.
Both the ReMarkable Paper Pro and Amazon’s new Scribe Colorsoft aim for the high end of the creative productivity market, with the Scribe Colorsoft starting at $630 and available later this year, and the ReMarkable Paper Pro starting at $675.
Neither of these tablets is cheap, so what’s the difference between them? Let’s examine some of the main features. The writing experience
When it comes to pen-to-paper emulation, both tablets succeed in delivering a satisfying writing experience with their own versions of textured glass, premium pencils, backlit displays, and color screens.
The ReMarkable Paper Pro has a slightly larger 11.8-inch display and uses real ink particles held together in chambers that individually control each pixel. It also has a dithered color system that mixes RGBCYM pixels with blacks and whites to create custom colors that are more muted and have a natural palette.
The writing experience on the Paper Pro is top-tier, responding to the movement of the stylus in subtle ways that feel realistic and responsive.
