Earlier this week Amazon released the first software update for the Kindle Scribe since it was released about 3 months ago. I put together a quick video showing the new features with the 5.16.1.2 update. A lot of people complained about how basic the Notebook features were after the Kindle Scribe was first released so […]

Kindle Scribe Still Needs Better PDF Support
Yesterday Amazon released the first software update for the Kindle Scribe since it was released in November that added some new features. Most of the improvements center around the notetaking experience with the addition of more writing tools and subfolders to help organize notebooks. Amazon also states the Kindle Scribe will be getting copy and […]
Kindle Scribe Software Update Now Available, Adds New Features
Last week Amazon released a software update for all Kindles dating back to 2015, except the Kindle Scribe wasn’t included in that round of updates. Now this week Amazon has an update package available for the Kindle Scribe as well, and unlike last week’s update for other Kindles that didn’t appear to change anything at […]
New Kindle Software Update 5.15.1.1 Now Available to Download
Amazon has released a new software update for Kindle ereaders. It’s been nearly 5 months since the last software update was released so it’s been quite a bit longer than usual.

It’s the same story on the homepage of Kindle ereaders. It seems like […]

This new issue is relatively minor but annoying. Basically, documents are no longer showing covers on the lockscreen when the Kindle is turned off. […]
Woot Sale: Kindle Paperwhite $69, Signature Edition $109
If you’re looking to score a Kindle ereader for cheap, Woot has some really good deals on the current Kindle Paperwhite. Like usual with these Woot deals, the Kindles are listed as refurbished so they aren’t brand new. But most people report their condition being like new when they receive them so they’re usually a […]
Kindle Scribe Disappearing Notes Issue – Make Backups!
There have been some reports on reddit, MobileRead, and Amazon’s own Kindle forum about notebooks and annotations (both with ebooks and PDFs) suddenly disappearing on the Kindle Scribe for no apparent reason. Unfortunately it seems to be a random issue and there doesn’t appear to be a way to recover notes after this happens. Obviously […]
