When Amazon unveiled their new Kindle Scribes last fall, they also announced a bunch of new software features to go along with them, and I thought at least some of the new features would trickle down to the previous two Kindle Scribes, but it looks like that’s not going to happen at all. I came […]
The Secret to Buying Older Kindles for Cheap
I’m hesitant to share this tip since it’ll mean more competition for everybody, but there is a way to buy older Kindles for relatively cheap that most people probably don’t know about. If you’re looking to buy an old Kindle and don’t want to spend a lot, and you’re located in the US, you might […]
Send to Kindle is Getting Removed from Microsoft Word
Microsoft has a note up on their support website about how they’re planning on removing the option to send documents directly from Microsoft Word to Kindles after February 2026.

Amazon Still Treating Kindles Like Second Class Devices

Will Regular Kindles Get Google Drive and OneDrive Support?
I was looking over the new Kindle Connections page at Amazon with user guides and FAQs about connecting the new Kindle Scribes to 3rd-party services like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, and it raises more questions than it gives answers. I still find it hard to believe that Amazon added support for using Google Drive […]
Amazon Now Tracking How Many Days People Write on Kindle Scribes
I received an email from Amazon the other day titled “Your Kindle Scribe writing check-in”, and it shows how many days I’ve written notes on the Kindle Scribe over the past month. I haven’t been using my Kindle Scribe very much at all lately, and it was probably in airplane mode for the past couple […]
