Wow, Practically Nobody is Buying the Kindle Scribe Lately
Last year around this time I posted about how the Kindle Scribe’s sales numbers were declining rapidly, especially whenever it’s not on sale, so I thought I’d look at the numbers again and it’s even worse this year.

Kindle Scribe Software Update 5.17.3 Adds Side Panel Writing
Amazon has released a software update, version 5.17.3, for both the 2022 and 2024 Kindle Scribe that adds a new way to write notes within ebooks and Word documents, and it also adds a new visually-distracting icon on the screen that can’t be removed (how fun).

New Kindle Scribe 2 Details Summary – Not Much Has Changed
Amazon has unveiled several new Kindles for 2024, including a new redesigned Kindle Scribe. Oddly, they’re still referring to it as a 1st generation model on the product page, but we’ll call it the Kindle Scribe 2 to help mitigate confusion. Most of the details appear to be 95% the same as the first Kindle […]
Kindle Scribe Requires 3rd Party Software to Transfer Files on Macs
Around this time last year Amazon updated the software on the Kindle Scribe, and they changed the USB protocol from USB mass storage to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which works fine with Windows computers but Mac computers don’t support MTP without using 3rd-party software.
