Supernote
e-Ink tablet for reading and productivity. Take notes, sketch, annotate printed documents, read ebooks and unleash your creativity with the distraction-free digital notebook. You can take notes directly on PDFs, EPUBs and emails, even edit Word documents by writing proofreading marks.
The Kindle Scribe is Amazon’s idea of what happens when you ask a book to grow a brain and start writing its own story. Sporting a 10.2-inch screen that’s roughly the size of a small, very obedient paperback, it lets you scribble notes, jot down ideas and underline important bits of text like “Yes, I am reading something very profound.” It’s also firmly nestled in the Kindle ecosystem, which is like living in a very cozy digital library where every book politely reminds you it’s available to buy. Perfect for those who like their gadgets to multitask while they sip tea and pretend to be in a Victorian study.

The Supernote, meanwhile, is less of a multitasker and more of a specialist—like that one friend who doesn’t know how to cook but can make the best omelette in the known universe. Its FeelWrite screen technology is so wonderfully tactile, you might start wondering if your notes actually exist somewhere in a parallel dimension where paper is king. This is a device for people who take their handwriting seriously or at least want to feel like they do. PDFs and Word documents bow in reverence to its compatibility, making it the ultimate choice for those who like to live in the intersection of productivity and chaos.

So which should you choose? It’s rather like deciding between a Swiss army knife and a very, very nice fountain pen. The Kindle Scribe is all about doing everything at once and looking charming while it does it, while the Supernote is for those who find joy in the elegance of simplicity. Either way, both are great for jotting down ideas, sketching genius plans or doodling small aliens in the margins. The universe might be vast and incomprehensible, but at least your e-ink device doesn’t have to be.
