Key features

• The large 11-inch color E Ink screen suits notes, PDFs, comics and textbooks.
• Its textured writing surface and included pen feel close to paper.
• Import Google Drive or OneDrive files, mark them up and export, so you print less.
• AI tools help search and summarize your handwritten notes.

Best for

Students, professionals and creatives who take lots of notes and read documents.

Things to consider

• It's a premium device, and overkill if you only read novels.
• Color E Ink is more muted than a tablet screen.
• It's not a full tablet, with no general app store.

Verdict

The best Kindle for note-takers. Buy a Paperwhite if you just read.
