Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can I import my documents onto Kindle Scribe?

Use Send to Kindle to import documents from your desktop web browser, the Kindle app, or even directly from Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365 subscription required). Supported file types that you can import this way include PDF, DOCX, eBooks in EPUB format, as well as other common document formats like JPG, PNG, HTML, and TXT. Learn more about sending documents.

2. Can I view my notes on other Kindle surfaces?

You can view your Kindle Scribe notebooks through the Kindle app for iOS and Android. To access them, go to the “More” tab in the app and select “Notebooks” to view all the notebooks created on your Kindle Scribe. Additionally, you can view any highlights or sticky notes you made in books; however, you can't view underlines or Active Canvas notes.

3. How do I use the AI notebook tools?

To summarize, open a notebook, tap the AI icon, and select “Summarize”. Choose up to 15 pages (or specific pages from Bird's Eye View) to extract key takeaways, saving time in reviewing your notes.

For writing refinement, tap the AI icon and choose “Refine Writing”. Select up to 10 pages to convert your handwriting into a polished, script-like font. This works best for narrative-style notes, to-do lists, or nested lists, but may not be as effective for non-linear layouts like calendars or planners.

Both tools may need time to sync new notebooks. For a faster experience, tap “Sync” to manually sync your notes before using AI tools. You can customize the font style, size, and spacing of the output. Results are inserted into your notebook using a blank page template for a clean, organized presentation. AI notebook tools are supported for the English language and are available in the US.

Amazing but Expensive
4 out of 5 stars
Amazing but Expensive
The device is definitely an upgrade from the Paperwhite as it has many more features. The screen size is fantastic and the lightweight and sturdy build make it feel like it's a high quality device. I must admit, however, that it's difficult to hold for a long time without a case, it just doesn't have a book feeling and over time it's awkward. So a case is a must. The case that Amazon makes is expensive but it's worth it as it allows for the device to stand in portrait and landscape modes at an angle that is perfect for reading. The ability to takes notes is great BUT you don't actually mark up in your book, you do so in a margin and / or in a separate space that is essentially an inserted text box. So circling words, comments, etc are not really possible the way I normally make notes in a book. The ability to draw is nice, but it lacks drawing tools like smudge, which would be awesome for real sketching as it does feel good to write on. The tips to the premium pen wear down quickly, not sure why that is but I've gone through two in just two weeks. What I don't like: for the price it only has 64GB of storage, is still monochrome, doesn't have a speaker, and web browsing and apps like ChatGPT are not possible to run on it. So, I have a Samsung Tab and it's full color, super fast, can have attached storage, runs other apps, and the Kindle app on it is amazing as it is fully color and can do so much more, with better controls and quicker response. But alas, it is not a friend to a digitally distracted person, and I do find myself using it to surf the web, check email, create spreadsheets, book trips, communicate with workers, access my corporate internal sites, write notes, make drawings, and that's when I was supposed to be reading! Well, the final word...I'm glad I bought it and that I have it, but it's a luxury item and I recognize that I'm lucky to have it. I wouldn't trade my tablet for it, but I do find it a great device because of the size, weight, build, and ability to sketch notes with AI integrated summaries built in. Should you buy it? If you have $500 to spare, sure. Honestly though, keep reading on your current device until the price comes down from the stratosphere.

    I really like this product. I use it every single day at work and I use it frequently at home too. It replaced a physical planner for me which is great because you have to buy a new one every year. I use the notebooks heavily and found routines that work for me. Creating custom templates using the AI refine writing feature has been great. I do wish it had different notebook templates or a way to add your own custom ones. I also wish you could copy your notebooks easier (you can use the lasso tool, which I do, but sometimes it’s time consuming)

    Being able to send and share annotated PDFs has been great, the process is smooth and easy. Something about writing on a text PDF is so cool. My one complaint is that I wish PDFs weren’t relegated solely to the library section and could be moved to the notebook section if desired.

    I ended up being a touch disappointed with the special button on the pen, you can only choose between a couple of functions to assign to it and you must hold the button down to use the feature. I end up always clicking the button because of the way I hold a pen so that’s kind of annoying. The eraser is nice though.

    I like the library portion and reading on it is great. There is a back lit screen that can be adjusted and the page size is good. I do find that I accidentally swipe backwards in my books a lot so that’s mildly annoying too. I also wish you could customize the “collections” the books are in, just something about it is not great. Other than that reading from it is very nice. I would highly recommend a case that can fold into a stand though, it makes draping it over your knee or propping up much more pleasant.

    Finally I’ve had a blast drawing with it. The pencil function is pretty good and you can come up with some cool stuff!

    Over all I’ve been using my scribe daily for the past three months. I really like it.

    I’m SO happy that I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the Kindle Scribe! I was apprehensive at first because of the price knowing that I have the iPad which has more features. Although it’s nice reading and not being distracted by messages and notifications like you get on an iPad etc.

    Pros:
    There’s no glare when reading. My eyes get tired now with working on a laptop most of the day and then reading on a screen such as the iPad the glare bothers my eyes. Not this kindle! I can read for a lot longer times like I used to be able to do!

    The note taking feature is amazing! I love the “feel” of writing on paper when you aren’t. My plan is to use this at church for taking notes so I don’t have to keep buying journals and pens, and this is much lighter in my Bible bag! I LOVE how the fountain pen writes! my only concern is, as I haven’t had this long enough to use at church yet, is how many notes I can have alongside my books before the 64 gb fill up….but I think I can print the notes or send them to word or something, I’ll have to research that.

    I’ve had the original Kindle and the oasis. The regular of course is more outdated now and the Oasis was nice that it was small enough to fit in my purse, but my eyes aren’t getting much better so I would have to have the font rather big to where there was just a sentence or two on one page and third wasn’t the reading experience I enjoy. This Kindle Scribe is just the right size, in my opinion! Some have said it’s too big but I think it’s just the right size. And it’s so light! I have a case on it, which added a bit more weight, but it’s still light enough to handle easily.

    Cons:
    There’s only con I have, and it’s not a deal breaker, is that they don’t have colors as a choice for the pen to be able to write in different colors. This would be nice for journaling and drawings…..but maybe that will be a later edition! 😊

    I take a lot of notes, but the issue I keep running into is that once a notebook is full, it becomes difficult to quickly reference anything I’ve written. To solve that, I’ve been looking into electronic notebooks. I previously tried the reMarkable, but it wasn’t the right fit for me—the ghosting was noticeable, and the muted colors didn’t justify the price.
    Switching to the Kindle Scribe has been a much better decision for several reasons:
    * Affordable – Thanks to the Amazon spring sale, I picked it up for a third of what I paid for the reMarkable 2.
    * Minimal ghosting – While it does have some ghosting, it's barely noticeable and much more manageable.
    * Feels natural to write on – The writing experience is smooth and really mimics pen and paper.
    * Backlit and black & white only – As someone who is color confused, I actually find the black-and-white display with backlighting to be an advantage.
    * Easy to use – The transition from physical notebooks was seamless. I use it just like I would a regular notebook.
