Amazon launches Kindle Scribe alongside raft of smart home products

The Scribe's goal is bigger than its predecessors: it aims to replace paper entirely

Amazon has unveiled the Kindle Scribe, a new E Ink Kindle that aims to be the e-reader's first writing-friendly device.

The Scribe is designed for use as a more general-purpose tablet than Amazon's other E Ink Kindles. Where those intended to do away with traditional paper books, the Scribe's goal is bigger: it aims to replace paper entirely.
