Kindle Scribe is perfect primarily for readers of Kindle ebooks that also want to be able to write on the tablet.
Remarkable is a writing focused device with some basic e-reading functionality.
For what I needed, I ended up going with the Remarkable 2. So far I love it. It's part of my daily workflow and I don't think it's just a fad device that will end up collecting dust on a shelf.
So, I desired something that can take my handwriting and quickly convert it to text. Hands down, the iPad with GoodNotes is far superior than the Kindle or Boox. The iPad will not only convert in real time, which does an outstanding job at understanding chicken scratch, it puts the text neatly on the lines in order, even when I don't write on the line. The other 2 devices, you have to write everything you want, then use a tool to select what you want converted and then it spends some time and converts it. But it leaves it exactly where you wrote. This is such a tedious process and looks nowhere as clean, just completely disorganized. Not even the remarkable 2 and Supernote have this power. It's literally limited to iPad with GoodNotes app.
The second was highlights, which are incredibly important for note taking. I really wanted to like it, but gray-scale just doesn't work for highlights. The Boox, which I had super high hopes for since it was in color, there is no function to highlight your notes. People confuse the marker as a highlighter.
Finally, the writing. Imo of the 3, the Kindle felt the least like writing on paper. The Boox came in second. The iPad with the paper screen protector felt the most like writing on paper. The only issue is it eats up your pencil tip after probably 2 weeks of heavy note taking each day. And I'm saying hours upon hours a day. I'm using an older iPad, so I'm not too sure what pens actually work. So, it's not easy finding cheap pen tips on AliExpress or Temu. Though I see plenty for newer gen iPads. The nibs for the Kindle and Boox are on there, but much research show the nibs last a super, super long time. Probably why they don't feel as good. They're more of a super smooth pen feel, but writing on something not paper, the iPad a pen or pencil feel like writing on paper. So if you're in the same situation, I recommend an iPad with a paper screen protector with the GoodNotes app. The GoodNotes app is on Samsung tablets, but the AI handwriting to text is only on iPad. Starting at $350, the iPad isn't much more than this. And it looks like the previous gen is $250.
This is all starting from an iPad. I wanted something that didn't have entertainment apps to steer me away from doing my work, so I tried the E-ink tablets. But to this day, I still haven't used the iPad for anything else, other than the GoodNotes app. I haven't been tempted to open something else once. That's what my smartphone is for. So if you don't need what I need, for the price on sale, a scribe isn't bad. The Onyx is a nice option especially being able to side load some android apps, but the color portion needs work. Found issues with the screen not great at refreshing. Possibly in another gen or 2 it'll be great.

KINDLE2024 coupon?
There was a great one posted here last year and I didn't take advantage of it thinking I'd see it again for Black Friday and have been kicking myself ever since.

Onyx Boox are also well loved for their flexibility as full Android tablets.

The Screen on the scribe is by far the best and on top of that the hand writing simply looks like your a pro BUT the Notes application is extremely sub par from functionality compared to others (But the price of the scribe is lower) I think what killed it for me with the Scribe is very poor integration to see your notes online...
I ended up getting the Onyx Boox Air 2 Plus which solves everything I wanted but it's not without fault
Search youtube there are tons of comparisons
