Amazon has released another software update for the Kindle Scribe that adds some nifty new features. The new software version is 5.16.1.3, dated April 2023.

Ever since Amazon announced the Kindle Scribe last September, a surprising number of people have voiced their disappointment in Amazon for not releasing a new Kindle Oasis.
