Here are the latest news about Kindle Scribe:
15.11.24. New Kindle Scribe includes AI-powered notebook
The all-new Kindle Scribe 2024 merges all the advantages of Kindle with a robust note-taking gadget. It will feature mostly the same software interface existing Scribe users are familiar with but with a few notable differences. The new integrated AI-powered notebook (English-only) enables you to quickly summarize pages and notes into precise bullet points in a handwritten-style font that can be shared from the notebook section. You can also enhance your notes in a handwritten-style font so they’re clear while preserving the appearance and feel of handwriting. You can jot your thoughts directly into the book when inspiration strikes. Your note becomes part of the page and the book’s text dynamically adjusts around it—whether you increase the font size, modify the font style, or alter the book layout, the note remains visible precisely where you want it, so you never lose any meaning or context. The new stylus feels like a real pen and the new soft-tip eraser feels just like a pencil.
2023. Kindle Scribe can now convert handwritten notes to text
In a move that would probably make intergalactic hitchhikers chuckle, the folks at Amazon have given the Kindle Scribe a firmware update that’s as practical as a towel, but with fewer laundering requirements. The headline feature? This update now lets users magically transform their scribbled notes into actual text, allowing them to export notebooks with a simple flick of the proverbial digital wrist. Users can now select options like “Convert to text and quick send” or “Convert to text and email” directly from the Share menu, beaming those hastily scrawled thoughts into neat, readable .txt files. With the latter option, up to five dear friends, indifferent colleagues, or even perhaps confused strangers can be gifted with your freshly edited prose via email. And just when you thought you couldn’t be more spoiled, the update also brings along a lasso select tool, which works across notebooks, sticky notes, and PDFs (uploaded by that slightly ominous “Send to Kindle” feature). To round it all off, they've boosted PDF reading powers and made even more books scribble-ready, because who wouldn’t want to make existential notes in the margins of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
2023. Kindle Scribe's notebook gets web-interface
Amazon, in a display of quietly understated technological flair, has unveiled a new feature that lets you peek at your Notebooks from the Kindle Scribe on the Web. Like a well-trained butler, your Notebooks materialize on the webpage with a synchronizing wave of the Kindle’s digital wand, sparing you the indignity of extra effort. There they sit, organized in folders and subfolders, complete with notes, all primly waiting for you to scroll through with the mouse wheel or nudge along with the onscreen arrows. At the top right, there’s a curious little sync button, looking very pleased with itself, and a toggle switch to let you choose between list and grid views, which is as exciting as toggles get. Strangely, the newest Notebooks shuffle to the bottom of the pile, perhaps in some obscure rebellion against the Scribe’s top-heavy preferences. Sorting options might join the party later—perhaps. Editing or reorganizing your notes, alas, remains a distant dream. Forget about right-clicking to snag them as images, but you might coax them into becoming an HTML or PDF file. However, this functionality is as reliable as a towel in a gale-force wind, which is to say, not very.
2023. Kindle Scribe now allows to send word documents to Kindle
Amazon recently unveiled numerous new features for its Amazon Kindle Scribe e-note, including the ability to Send to Kindle from Microsoft Word. This function allows users to send documents straight to their Kindle library and read and review them on any Kindle device. However, the feature is particularly useful on the Kindle Scribe, as it allows customers to add annotations directly to the documents. The update means that Microsoft 365 users with a personal, school, or work account can now utilize the Send to Kindle function in Microsoft Word on the desktop app. Those with free Microsoft accounts can access the feature through Word on the web. While Mac users will need to wait for a timeline to be released for Send to Kindle's compatibility with Word for Mac.
2022. Kindle Scribe brings writing to Amazon’s popular e-reader
For the first time since the original Kindle was launched in late 2007, Amazon has introduced the ability to write directly on the device with a stylus. The new model, called Kindle Scribe, is priced at $340. This is a significant new feature for the product, though a few companies, such as Remarkable and Sony with their DPT-CP1 and DPT-RP1 models, have already pioneered this functionality. The device comes with its own stylus, which magnetically attaches to the side—similar to many tablets. The stylus does not require charging and uses EMR (electro-magnetic resistance), which means other styli may also work with the Scribe, though the company advises against this, stating that their stylus is specifically calibrated for use with the Kindle.
