As someone who writes a lot of notes, I usually don't find myself reaching for these summary tools. Instead, the Active Canvas feature, which allows for notes around but not on the text, is still the only way to write notes in your ebook of choice. Ultimately, if you already have the second-generation Scribe, I don't think you need to upgrade. What was once a great deal for an e-reader and limited digital notebook is now a pretty big investment for a still-limited device when compared with the competition. Neither of the new Kindle Scribes is a bad device, but if you're looking for a great e-reader that doubles as a digital notebook, neither of them would be my go-to pick.
