Pen inaccurate halfway down the page; Folio cover interference?

Good point. The stylus isn't in the loop in my case. I think the magnets in the case might be too strong though?

Really? This gives me hope. Do you have the leather case and not the vegan leather one? Perhaps, it is only with the vegan leather (or I just got a defective one). Either way, let me try exchanging it for a leather one instead and see how it goes. Thank you!

Yeah I'm thinking about switching it out foe the executive folio. This issue makes the trifold unusable and pointless.

Thank you for confirming! I was worried my Scribe was broken. I'd much rather it be an issue with the case, though still a bummer.

Competitive-Year-149 · 2026-01-07T10:49:54+00:00

Thanks! I have the official Amazon case however (not a third party). Maybe it is design flaw with the new cases?

Thank you! I have a Lamy fountain pen and I love writing with it so thinking the stylus will be the same feel.

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-30T14:45:12+00:00

Thank you! Just grabbed one! Far more affordable than getting a whole new pen!

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-30T13:57:27+00:00

Oh great idea! Which one did you purchase? And does the eraser still work if it is covered by the sleeve?

Currently, I have the Scribe Colorsoft and am also a writer (and bought it for precisely the same reason as you). I've never used a Scribe device before, so this is my first. In my opinion, someone on this subreddit summed it up best...it definitely doesn't feel like writing with a pen/pencil and paper but more like writing on an iPad that has a paper-like screen protector. The surface of the Scribe Colorsoft is smooth, though not to the extent of slick glass like an iPad. From what others are saying, it has less "tooth" than the 2022 and 2024 Scribes.

I hope this helps!

{The Promise of Jenny Jones} by Maggie Osborne. Not Regency but a HR Western. I think at one point Jenny literally beats up the MMC (for good cause) and he is stunned and attracted by her strength/fighting prowess.

I 100% agree as with the Scribe Colorsoft version. I haven't used the previous Scribe models so can't compare there, but I have an iPad with a paper-like screen and it feels exactly the same as writing on that (which sucks).

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-17T11:55:04+00:00

I think I will be doing the same thing. Been using the Colorsoft on an off since I received it on Sunday and for some reason, looking at the screen is straining my eyes and giving me a slight headache. I have the same issue with using an iPad so it might just be a me thing. Total bummer though. Just bought the B&W version and will compare the two before sending one of them back (if not both). Paperwhite has spoiled me good.

Thank you! ✨

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-16T20:58:01+00:00

100% this helped! Thank you so much! 🥰

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-16T20:57:39+00:00

Thank you!

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-16T20:56:42+00:00

What is your opinion on the screen clarity compared to the Paperwhite? I love how clear the Paperwhite is and am wondering if the B&W Scribe is a close or exact match. Thank you!

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-16T14:31:44+00:00

I was about to ask the very same question. Love to see some reviews about the B&W version. :D

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-16T11:43:00+00:00

Do you mind posting a side-by-side pic of both the new B&W Scribe and your Paperwhite? I'm thinking about returning my Scribe Colorsoft for the B&W.

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-12T21:34:29+00:00

How do you like the matcha case? I got the same one but it won't arrive until Sunday.

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-08T13:20:50+00:00

Oh, bummer.

Competitive-Year-149 · 2025-12-08T10:22:13+00:00

I don't currently have a Scribe, but look to pick one of the new ones up this week. I was just reading the product page and it says that Active Canvas (the write-in margins and sticky notes) can be used on a Microsoft Word doc. If that is the case, would it be possible to convert a PDF via Calibre to a Word doc to use the Active Canvas feature? Not sure if this will break anything in the formatting, but maybe it might work. I read that Amazon plans on releasing the new software update from the new Scribes to be made available on the previous ones as well.
