What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is the best note-taking Kindle yet, thinner and lighter than before, with a sharp, large screen that makes reading a pleasure and a good new stylus. The common complaints are the high price, awkward annotation of books and limited software; TechRadar found the taller body cumbersome to hold in one hand.
