I’ve been using my OG Kindle Scribe for years now. Not only is it a great tool for getting down whatever ideas or scribbles that happen to be in my head, I’ve found it really supports my writing practice. Whether I’m in a coffee shop or on a plane, it’s now trivial for me to get stuck into writing fiction, something that I struggled with endlessly on distraction-ridden devices like laptops and mobile phones.
As a result, I’m definitely a bit of a writing tablet evangelist, which means I’m always excited to see a new device hitting the market. However, 'excited' didn’t really cover it when the new raft of Kindle Scribes were announced on September 30. Alongside impressive quality of life improvements, the reveal of the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft – packing the full color screen of its Kindle Colorsoft stablemate – was a bit of a ‘shut up and take my money’ moment. There was no doubt in my mind I was going to upgrade.
