Kindle readers are arguably the best ink readers in the market (certainly they are the most ubiquitous), but when it comes to note-taking ink readers, it's not necessarily the same story, with competitors like Onyx Boox offering e-inks tablets that are far more feature-packed and customizable.
That said, they are cost a pretty penny, with the Onyx Boox Note Air 3 C running around $450. Amazon's newest Kindle Scribe, on the other hand, is currently available for $324.99 (originally $399.99), the lowest price it has reached since its recent release, according to price tracking tools.

The Kindle Scribe first came out in 2022; this first version is currently $339.99 (yes, thanks to the current discount, the newer version is cheaper than the old version). But honestly, if you already have the 2022 version, there is no reason to upgrade. The main difference is the 2024 version comes with the Premium Pen instead of the Basic Pen stylus. The tablet itself is shorter, narrower, and slimmer, but not by much (you can even still use the same case). The new screen also has texture, which will add more resistance when you're writing on it, and the gap between the screen and outer casing is smaller. But that's where the differences end, at least according to PCMag's 3.5-star review.
Otherwise, you'll get the same 16GB of storage, the same book format compatibility, the same 15.3 oz weight, the same glare-free 300 ppi front-lit display screen, and the same 12-week battery life. Both tablets run the same software. Still, if you don't own a Scribe at all and are considering getting one, the newer version is the better option, especially when it costs less.
However, if your focus is more on writing and other tasks rather than reading, the Onyx Boox Note Air 3 C is a much better option. It has a color E Ink display, better note-taking software, and wider platform support. I've had the non-color version for several months and can recommend it to anyone looking for a serious digital notebook.
