I keep learning new things about my scribe all the time. I like to read several books at once and I wondered if there was a book switching app or something where I could just click and go to another book as opposed to closing the book and opening another book. Is there such a thing?

Hi,

I noticed that the Kindle Scribe without frontlight it is available on Amazon and I got a bit interested. I have the Remarkable Paper Pro, but since the screen is so dark-yellow, I'm looking for some kind of replacement (not sure if I will replace it or not though, just researching the possibilities).

I may be old-school in not wanting colors or frontlight. I'm particularly looking for something different than the Paper Pro (colors make the screen darker, and I do not like the idea of making the screen brighter because of that by adding a frontlight; I prefer a screen with good contrast without light).

What is is like to write on that device? To read? If anyone has had the possibility to compare it with a Remarkable device, then it would be extra interesting.

I'm also looking into Boox Note Max (I had a possibility to test a friend's device), but that one had zero palm rejection, which was almost funny to see. Otherwise that device seems to be a dream.

I just tried to buy a kindle book and it wouldn't allow be to because I didn't have a device that could handle it. I own a Kindle Colorsoft Scribe. So what's the deal with this? The book does have pictures however the color soft should be able to handle that.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some comments from anyone who has dealt with a similar Amazon CS refund process.

Briefly: My Kindle Scribe is frozen. Since I am currently located overseas (outside the US), returning the physical device via standard US return labels was practically impossible. After several rounds of discussions, Amazon CS made a one-time exception: they asked me to purchase a new device out-of-pocket using my credit card, and promised to process a full refund once it was delivered. I requested an email confirmation at that time (Photo 1 as below).

Current Status: The new device was delivered. I contacted support again today and spoke with a Specialist. They informed me that the refund to my VISA has been issued/requested and should reflect within 3-5 business days. To keep a record, I also asked for an email confirmation and received (Photo 2 as below).

My Questions:

1. Has anyone been in a similar situation and actually received the money back to their credit card? Pls share your experience.
2. Is the second email an actual backend-triggered transaction confirmation, or just a generic CS typing text?
3. If the refund doesn't show up after 5 business days, do these official u/amazon.com emails serve as valid documentation for a bank dispute/chargeback?

I'd really appreciate any experiences or insights from the community! Thanks!

I have a Kindle Paperwhite 12th generation, which all I can do is read books on it. Can you do more on any of the other Kindles out there?

Not sure what to do, here... I got a like-new Kindle Scribe from FB marketplace and love it. Everything works great and as expected except for the fact that I'm unable to export notebooks to email. Whenever I try, I either get a "Your attempt to send the file "****" failed. Please try again in some time." error, or no email at all.

• It's fully updated
• It's linked to my personal email address, which is the same one associated with my Amazon account
• I've restarted multiple times
• I've toggled airplane mode on and off
• I've toggled data privacy options on and off just to see if it made a difference
• I can connect to the store and download books no problem

The to other interesting wrinkle: I tried removing a notebook from the device and redownloading it, and it just stayed queued and never downloaded the notebook back. So it seems like there's something about the Notebooks function SPECIFICALLY that cannot connect online to either send or receive data for some reason.

Went round in circles with Amazon support "chat" (AI) to no avail. Has anyone experienced this and able to resolve the issue?

I cannot believe Amazon makes it this hard to use the very expensive thing that they designed around this very specific value proposition. This is the kind of thing that drives customers to competing products.

Im still on older version but does anyone manage do get the update. Are there newer features?

Just bought a used first gen kindle scribe (I’m a student on a budget). I have a pdf planner that I bought for a couple of bucks online but my written content on the planner will NOT sync with any of my other kindle apps (on my phone, small kindle reader, on my desktop...etc).

Why Amazon- whhhhhhy?!

So here I am to talk to you the experts- please tell me you’ve figured out a system around this. Give me your best tips and tricks.

Sincerely,

Very upset scribe owner.

Hi,

I'm considering a Scribe for teacher training course - so some university lectures and assignments and a lot of time in schools, observing, planning, teaching, keeping portfolio etc.

I struggle with note taking during lectures/while observing something especially when I'm trying to type so tend to just go with pen and paper but obviously that can be less practical.

I'm looking for answers to any of these questions:

Has anybody used the Scribe for similar purposes, and did it work well?

Does it stay on, like a tablet or phone? Or do you need to turn it on/log in every time like a laptop?

Can you search your hand-written notes for specific terms?

Can you upload photos e.g. photos of physical paper notes so I can have them collated digitally?

Is the screen quite easy on your eyes (as I get migraines)?

How often do you need to get new tips?

If you ever stop using the Scribe altogether, can you keep your notes? I know Amazon is crappy with you not actually ever owning anything so I know any books you wouldn't keep but what about annotated PDFs and your own notes in the notebook? Are they linked to your Amazon account, can you export them?

Anything else you think it'd be helpful to mention? (I'm not very technologically aware so open to hearing and tips or advice)

Thanks for your help
