## Description

Certified Refurbished Kindle Scribe | The first Kindle for reading and writing. Features a 10.2-inch, 300 ppi Paperwhite display and includes Premium Pen | 32 GB : desertcart.co.uk: Everything Else

Review: Perfect size and weight for a reading/writing pad - I am impressed. With my rapidly ageing eyes I need bigger screens and clearer images. I struggle to read my Oasis for long periods of time as my eyes get tired very quickly. I decided to bite the bullet as I had some birthday vouchers and get the scribe. I didn't see much difference between the newer 2024 version and the OG, so opted for a refurbished OG model, saving well over £100 in the process. I've never bought desertcart refurbished, but the 30 day return window and the 1 year warranty made the choice easy. If I wasn't happy I could just return it. But the devise is perfect. If it wasn't for the generic packaging, you wouldn't know the difference. It's brand new. No scratches, marks, nothing. I'm very impressed. It came with the premium pen, nibs and charging cable too. I've already downloaded a planner, diary, journal to the Scribe which works very well. Writing on the Scribe is a dream compared to the iPad which is too slippery and slick - even with paper like products you have to annoyingly attach. So this is much better for writing on. I don't write in books - I never have so I'm unlikely to start now, but having the unlimited notebooks is an absolute bonus. I often have to write something down to remember for reports and then end up losing the piece of paper or back of envelope. Not anymore. The screen is incredibly clear in all surroundings. Why did I wait so long to invest in a Scribe? It does enough for what I need it to. desertcart have got the size and weight just right i think.
Review: A good reading experience and reasonable note-taking - I’m really surprised by how much I like it. It’s much better to read books on its big screen than on a regular Kindle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good reading experience and reasonable note-taking

I’m really surprised by how much I like it. It’s much better to read books on its big screen than on a regular Kindle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best!
*by C***E on 11 July 2025*

I absolutely love the kindle scribe. I find writing on it as a left hander, so easy. No smudges!! The transcribe feature is good enough, but I just love to mark up books and it links to the kindle app which is great. Love having a bigger kindle, was worried I wouldn't like it but I'm a very regular traveller and I read for an hour or so a day at least, it's perfect. No more constant page turning. Battery lasts weeks and weeks and USB C Charge is the business. Finally, I love the warmth setting on the light, so much nicer than my Paperwhite really lovely to read in the evening. Journalling, emailing, etc all great and refurbished might as well have been brand new. Love it
