However, there are some drawbacks, neither of the pens have pressurize sensativity, so you will have to rely on software to control the size of the text or thickness of the lines. Both pens have a magnet in them and they can magnetically attach to the side of the Scribe. So you might be stuck with the one that comes with the device for awhile. Right now, there is no product pages to buy one or the other at a later date. The 32GB and 64GB can only be purchased with the premium stylus and not the basic one. The basic stylus is only being sold with the 16GB mode and users can choose to pay extra for the premium one. Amazon is going to be selling a basic one that does not have any buttons or an eraser and a premium version, which has a programable side button and an eraser on the top.

The team designed the pen tip using a hard felt that, paired with our custom display coating, avoids the slippery feeling produced by styluses with molded plastic tips and actually sounds like writing on paper. “We tested hundreds of combinations to find the delicate balance of creating just the right amount of friction on the display for writing while still delivering crisp text for a world-class reading experience Kindle customers expect,” said Nag Tadepalli, lead display engineer for Kindle Scribe. The Amazon team worked hard on finding the right anti-glare coating on the display and the right kind of tip on the pen to mimic the feeling of writing on paper. Amazon showcased some footage at the private online event they conducted yesterday and we finally have an idea on what the note taking experience will be like. Just how good is the Scribe at taking down notes. This is the first time that the company has released something like this and will be competing against the Kobo Elipsa and Remarkable 2. The hardware was designed to freehand draw, edit documents and books.

There is also a 16GB, 32GB or 64GB variants. The Kindle Scribe is available now for preorder for $340 with a standard stylus or $370 with a premium stylus. The Amazon Kindle Scribe is a brand new digital note taking device that will be released towards the end of November.
