The Kindle Scribe - A REALLY helpful software update!

Amazon recently released a software update that users have been crying out for - the ability to change the template of an individual page within a notebook! In this video I show you how to do this as well as two other features you may not have known about.

The software version refered to in this video is 5.16.9 - I’m based in the UK.

I recorded a Short showing you how to manually update your Kindle Scribe if it hasn’t yet automatically updated. I hope it is useful to you -

My husband just ordered me a scribe for our 18 year wedding anniversary to replace my basic kindle i use daily, and i have been watching all of your videos and have to thank you! Your videos have helped me so much to understand, what to me, is a behemoth of a device that i have been dreaming of having since it released! Great videos! Subbed for sure to keep myself updated on the updates and how to use them!

I can't believe after all the updates that have added, the ability to just write on any book still isn't a priority

Thanks for the videos! I’m starting my second degree this time in psychology and I was unsure about buying the scribe. I don’t want an iPad as I guarantee then I’d watch more YouTube than read my study books. However, I now realise the reason I was on the fence is because those reviews where before the updates in your last 2 videos. The scribe now looks like what I am after so I’ve ordered one. Yes I could get an iPad but the scribe has less distractions and looks idea as just for reading and adding study notes but without all the paid apps for a iPad and mainly without the distraction a iPad would give me.

I got an email from Amazon about the new page templates today, but the written notes in the app and the ability to see annotations (of either type) is completely new to me! Thanks for that!

[philologus]

Thanks for this! I got the update last night and I was wondering what was new. I hope they continue improving features. I really wish they would go the Kobo route and support in ebook writing and underlining.

These are indeed great updates — thanks for the demo!
I just ordered a Scribe today (great Prime Day deal!), and your videos have helped me so much in both making my decision, and also feeling much more informed as to how to start making it the more versatile workhorse I need it to be!
Thank you — I subscribed as well! 👍👏👏👏👏👏😊

Bought a Kindle Scribe this prime day since the price for 64GB Version with the premium pen was 307€. Thanks for your review, this sealed the deal for me

SO GLAD I've just seen your video!
My kindle has been offline a few days and I missed this!
This is something I've wished for

[thomashirschmann]

Thanks for sharing the new features! How lovely that I can now choose a different template for each page!

[IAmSam_TheMan]

Great video! I didn't know my Scribe had updated. These are some Killer Features! so happy Amazon added them.
Thanks for the video update!

It would have been better if they’d let you annotate the book page than have the note open in the app but I suppose it’s a step forward. I just wish they’d let me move my imported PDF documents out of my library and into the notebooks and, let me email a PDF document directly to whoever I want to send it to and not a link for a download.
I’ve gone back to using Goodnotes and my Apple Pencil Pro instead of my Kindle Scribe for my documents as it’s much more convenient, and less hassle, and time saving than using the Kindle Scribe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
PS I love using the Scribe for reading my books on though so I haven’t wasted my money on it.

Thanks for this video. A very useful update.

[massimocapoccia]

We need a very good desktop app for organizing the files and do screen sharing!

[ConradMurkitt]

I think Amazon are miles behind the likes of Boox. If you look at something like the Boox Air 3C it is light years ahead in features for notebooks. Not sure whether the Scribe is powerful enough to have some of these features but I wonder whether Amazon’s heart is really in developing the Scribe, they seem to be so slow with adding new features.

[KevinChee]

Great looking thumbnail. And that title... woah !

[jezamania]

Thanks, waiting for an update that allows me to save my notebooks to another scribe or laptop to second scribe?

[MathewCarter]

Do your hand written notes (or written to text transcriptions) make it over to Readwise? How in general is the Scribe to Readwise functionality any benefits?

[TheBlfried]

Crystal ball question, please. I bought the Scribe for writing but would like my notes to be searchable quickly on the device without having to e-mail them elsewhere. Do you think this is a feature Amazon is working on, or are there hardware limitations that prevent them from doing so?

[caerolleclaudel]

Ugh I was hoping they finally made it possible to use it landscape with two pages side by side. That would get me but this won’t
