2025. Kindle Scribe adds side panel writing



Amazon has released software update 5.17.3 for the 2022 and 2024 Kindle Scribe. This update introduces a new way to scribble notes in ebooks and Word documents, which is great and an ever-present, immovable icon on the screen, which is... less great. The note-taking feature itself is rather clever—you can summon a panel that politely overlaps your book’s text or forces the words to rearrange themselves like panicked commuters making room for an oversized suitcase. This panel can be resized with the kind of flexibility one expects from a budget airline seat: two options in portrait mode, three in landscape. However, the real pièce de résistance is the icon that calls forth this panel. It’s always there, lurking in the margin like an uninvited dinner guest who refuses to take a hint. You can shift it from left to right, but no amount of logical reasoning, button-pressing or whispered pleas will make it disappear entirely. It is, in every sense, the literary equivalent of a pebble in your shoe—except you can’t take the shoe off.


2023. Kindle Scribe's notebook gets web-interface



Amazon has introduced a new feature that allows you to access your Kindle Scribe's notebooks on the web. Now, all your notebooks automatically appear in your Amazon's online account when you sync Kindle Scribe. You can view all your folders, subfolders and notes added to them. In the upper right corner there is a sync button to refresh the page and a switch between list and grid view. It is worth noting that the newest notebooks are added to the bottom of the list, unlike in Scribe, where they appear at the top (sorting option may be added in the future). However, on the web page, you can only view your notes and cannot edit or reorganize them. It is not possible to right-click and download them as images. Although you can save them as an HTML file or PDF, this is not entirely convenient.
