Kindle Scribe should show your calendar, news, weather, etc when it's plugged in.
I hope Scribe note sharing is improved from "email yourself a PDF".
And come on, still no physical page turn buttons?
I also want a Kindle Scribe with a scroll display: a high-refresh-rate LCD touchscreen that sits just below the bottom of the eink screen. Use case being: swipe to a bookmark or page very quickly. It would stay off until touched and would be about 2cm tall, with the same width as the eink screen.
I adamantly disagree. There are 10,000 devices in this world that will feed you your email if you really need to see it in the second it comes in. You probably have one in your pocket right now and another on your wrist and a third that you are staring at to read this post.
I use a Remarkable tablet (the Scribe's competitor) for the exact reason that it doesn't come with apps for email or web browsing or an app store or a weather app. It writes really really well (the scribe does too) and lets you focus on that. It doesn't try to be the 4th version of a smart device when you already have so many.
The "email yourself a PDF" note taking issue made the Scribe a no-go for me. Basically, if you transfer your PDF over USB, it wouldn't allow you to use certain note taking features. You had to email the PDF to yourself through Amazon's servers.
I hope Kobo releases a new Elipsa. I waited for the new reMarkable, but it is full of subscription garbage.
