Is Kindle Scribe better than reMarkable?

The choice between the Kindle Scribe and the reMarkable 2 comes down to whether you prioritize reading or writing.

• Choose the Kindle Scribe if you are an avid reader. It features a sharp 300 ppi screen with an adjustable warm frontlight for reading in the dark, and provides seamless, direct access to the massive Kindle e-book library. While you can take notes and write on PDFs, its organizational software is relatively basic.
• Choose the reMarkable 2 if your primary goal is distraction-free writing, sketching, and heavy note-taking. It offers an unmatched, textured writing experience that feels genuinely like pencil on paper, alongside a highly sophisticated folder, tagging, and page-template system. However, it lacks a built-in light, meaning you cannot use it in the dark without an external lamp.

Note: If you want the reMarkable software ecosystem but need a built-in light and color screen, consider the newer reMarkable Paper Pro.
