Kindle Scribe (16 GB) the first Kindle for reading, writing, journaling and sketching - with a 10.2” 300 ppi Paperwhite display, includes Basic Pen +3 months of Kindle Unlimited (with auto-renewal)

Q: Does it convert handwriting to text?

Update: As of firmware version 5.16.2, you may now export notebooks with a convert-to-text option — this will convert the notebook's handwritten content to text, give you an opportunity to edit the converted text, then email it to whomever you desire. So yes! It can do that.

Q: Does this model have physical buttons to turn pages like the oasis or is it like the paperwhite?

Not having physical buttons is a little disappointing (for one primary reason mentioned below), but I’ll likely get a Scribe since the pen input is something I’ve been wanting in a Kindle for years. I’ve had Kindles since Gen 2 and was very excited about getting the first non-buttoned Kindle Paperwhite after release. However, I soon found I had difficulty with page turns due to an unfortunate dry skin condition I have. Smartphones, tablets, and other shiny-smooth devices - no problems. Paperwhite responded to only 20% of my taps/swipes (probably due to the matte screen texture in combination with my dry skin) and was so frustrating to use I gave it away. Lotion helped only slightly and made for messy screens. I was absolutely DELIGHTED when Amazon released the Kindle Voyage with physical page turn buttons and I still use it to this day.

Q: Does it sync with OneNote?

Not yet, but Amazon says the option to sync with Microsoft Apps is coming this year. Personally I would not jump at the remarkable for a few reasons. 1. It is about 30% more money. 2. It doesn’t support the Kindle library and that’s a deal breaker for me, 3. Boox is a better option than the remarkable 2, but battery life is a real issue. Don’t just jump, look at what’s coming and think about your needs first.

Q: Anyone else (who writes a great deal, either for work or pleasure,) see the genius in this device- making needs for editors, business professionals?

As a student and working in admin, this would be very useful. For notes in general and also being able to write notes on the digital book. I still need to research a bit more regarding compatibility with Microsoft 365 and specifically one note as this is where I take all notes.
