Here are the latest news about Kindle Scribe:
22.05.23. Kindle Scribe can now convert handwritten notes to text
Kindle Scribe has recently received the latest firmware update and one notable feature of this update is the ability to convert handwritten notebooks into text when exporting them. This allows users to conveniently edit and share their notebooks with friends, family, or colleagues via email. Within the Share menu, customers now have the options to "Convert to text and quick send" or "Convert to text and email" their standalone notebook as a .txt file. With the latter option, users can preview, review, and make edits to the converted text before sending it to up to 5 email addresses. Additionally, the new firmware introduces the lasso select tool, which can be used in notebooks, sticky notes, and PDFs uploaded to the Kindle library via the "Send to Kindle" feature. Furthermore, there are improvements in PDF reading capabilities, and a wider selection of books and titles that support direct on-page writing.
2023. Kindle Scribe's notebook gets web-interface
Amazon has introduced a new feature that allows you to access your Notebooks from the Kindle Scribe on the Web. Your Notebooks automatically appear on the webpage when your Kindle Scribe syncs, without any additional steps. The webpage displays all your folders, subfolders, and any notes added to them. To navigate through the notebook pages, you can use the mouse wheel or onscreen arrows. At the top right, there is a sync button to refresh the page, as well as a toggle to switch between list and grid view for the Notebooks. It's worth noting that the newest Notebooks are added to the bottom of the list, unlike the Scribe where they appear at the top. Perhaps sorting options will be added in the future. However, on the webpage, you can only view your notes and cannot edit or reorganize them. It's not possible to right-click and download them as images. Although you can save them as an HTML or PDF file, the functionality is not entirely reliable.
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
Amazon has introduced a noteworthy new feature to its Kindle lineup with the Kindle Scribe, allowing users to write directly on the device using a stylus. Priced at $340, this marks the first time Amazon has incorporated this capability since the initial launch of the Kindle in late-2007. While Remarkable and Sony have already introduced similar products such as the DPT-CP1 and DPT-RP1, the Kindle Scribe stands out with its own magnetically attachable stylus, resembling the design seen in many tablets. The stylus operates on electro-magnetic resistance (EMR), eliminating the need for charging and potentially enabling compatibility with other stylus options, although Amazon advises against this, emphasizing their stylus's tailored performance for the Kindle.
