I have big dreams of a tiny e-reader.

I really want a pocket-sized Kindle Scribe

After a month of testing a handful of powerful e-readers, I’ve come to an annoying conclusion: Most of my reading (and note-taking) happens on my phone. This isn’t because it offers the best experience, but because it’s always with me. Whether I’m standing in line, waiting for pasta to boil, or winding down before bed, my phone is typically in my hand, and so is the Kindle app. Yet, I’d happily ditch my phone for reading if there were a truly portable alternative. The Kindle Scribe is too big and the Paperwhite doesn’t support a stylus. The Kobo Libra Colour is close, but doesn’t sync with my Kindle library. What I actually want is a compact, pocket-sized Kindle that supports a stylus.

Compact, capable, Kindle-connected
