Amazon Kindle Scribe: A Great First Effort by Amazon or a Clunker?

I have a new Amazon Kindle Scribe and love it. In this video, I review and take a thorough analysis of all the Amazon Kindle Scribe features. I have lots of time codes so you can jump around, but be sure to watch the ending where I cover my use of the Amazon Kindle Scribe to support my retro computing and YouTube hobby. It really is a great first effort by Amazon to produce a more useful Kindle and one that, in many ways, is a better experience that reading and writing on other tablets such as the Apple iPad.
