A while ago, I bought a Kindle Scribe, with the goal to take notes on books and PDF files.
Reading on the Kindle Scribe is pretty nice, though. One of the things I like best is to hold the Kindle Scribe in landscape format (wide, rather than tall), and then have two columns on it. To me, this feels the most like reading a real book.
Regarding taking notes and annotating books and PDF files, the latter hasn’t worked out all that well so far. One problem is that I can really only get PDFs in and out of the Kindle Scribe, in a way that can be marked up, is through Amazon’s servers. That limits the things I’m willing to put on the Kindle (for example, no work stuff).
However, recently I tried taking notes in Kindle books again, and this has improved a lot. Books now have an “infinite margin” on the side that you can use to take notes. I’m pretty happy with this feature.
I’ll have to find out how I can export these notes now. That isn’t clear to me at all yet.
