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. The last software update added support for writing on sideloaded PDFs, and it turns out the update also added a new “smart […]

Previous Gen Kindle Scribe Selling Better Than the New Scribe
It looks like Amazon seriously misjudged how much people are willing to pay for a Kindle Scribe. I was looking at the product page for the older Kindle Scribe that was released in 2024 and was surprised to see it has higher sales numbers than the new Kindle Scribe by a significant margin. The sales […]
Fig Kindle Scribe Colorsoft Still Not Shipping Anytime Soon
Something weird is going on with the release of the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, particularly the version that comes in the fig color (some say it’s purple, some say it’s red; whatever color it is it’s “fig”). Amazon seems to be having production problems or shipping problems—someting has to be going on when you consider […]
Kindle Scribes Now Support Writing Notes on PDFs Loaded Via USB
Yesterday I posted about previous gen Kindle Scribes getting some new pinning and underlining features after the latest software update, and there are also multiple reports of Kindle Scribes now supporting writing on PDFs sideloaded via USB. I sideloaded a couple of PDFs onto my 2022 Kindle Scribe and it’s still not getting that option […]

New Kindle Scribes Getting Send to Alexa Feature and More AI Tools
The Amazon News website posted a couple of articles today (basically the same article written slightly differently twice) about the new Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, and it looks like some new features are expected to start rolling out soon. Like mid-February soon. One of the first things both articles point out is the […]
Kindle Scribe Colorsoft Now Stuck with Ridiculous Shipping Dates
Amazon is off to another abysmal launch with latest their flagship notetaking Kindle. I remember when Amazon first came out with the Kindle Scribe and they released it with half-finished software, and that gave it a bad reputation from the start that still hasn’t faded. Now Amazon is shooting themselves in the foot again with […]
Red (Fig) Kindle Scribe Colorsoft Now Available to Order
Amazon released the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft back on December 10th, but they’ve only been selling the standard “graphite” color with a dark bezel and back. Now the Fig Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is finally available to order with a much more colorful look, being drenched in dark red front and back. Even the stylus is […]
