Amazon has been adding some nifty new features to the Kindle Scribes lately, and not just the new models—the original model from 2022 has been getting some of the new features as well.

Send-to-Kindle Won’t Work on Unsupported Kindles; Amazon Phasing Out Older Formats
Ever since Amazon started sending out emails last week about dropping support for older Kindles, I’ve been seeing some people say you’ll still be able to use Send-to-Kindle or email to send documents and non-Amazon ebooks to those Kindle devices, but unfortunately that is not the case.

Previous Gen Kindle Scribe Selling Better Than the New Scribe

A couple weeks ago Amazon released software version 5.19.3 for Kindles that must’ve had some serious problems because they removed the update from their website after just 2 days, but now they have a new update out that hopefully fixes whatever issues the last update created. The new software version is 5.19.3.0.1, and it’s available […]
