Hey Kindle Fans! Just an update for you. I manually updated my Kindle 1 to 5.17.2, which is the latest software update as of 12/10/2024. Now my Gen 1 Kindle works exactly the same as the New Kindle. So...for $110 dollars more you can get a white bezel and a pen with a rubber-esc eraser! Not sure why Amazon thought this would go well. Buy the Gen 1 or wait and hope Gen 3 has real upgrades!

You may have covered this but is the writing experience different? Does the new scribe feel more like writing on paper? This will be the deciding factor in which one I purchase. Thanks!

Everything you said wasn't on the old device is literally available via manual update (or you can wait for Amazon to push it to your device) and so anything you can do on the new Scribe can be done of the old one. I actually think the screen of the old looks a tad bit brighter and better than the new one. I do like the rubber eraser on the new pen but is it worth $80? I think not.

Hello! I got the old Scribe as I read your comment that is basically the same as the new one with the firmware update. I got the AI features with the update but I'm trying to write on a language book that has exercises and it still only creates a sticky note or a live canvas, doesn't allow me to write directly on the PDF as it would with the new one! I don't know if I'm missing something or there is some option I'm not seeing.

It's working for me on my old scribe. If your document is a pdf, you should be able to write directly on the document like a piece of paper. If you are writing on a Kindle ebook or a text file, it will create a text box in the place you write and reformat the text to flow around it. Of this isn't happening for you, it is different than what I am experiencing. What format is the file you are using?

Using a computer, download the file for your Kindle from Kindle E-Reader Software Updates. Turn on your Kindle. Connect your Kindle to your computer using the included charging cable. Drag and drop the downloaded file from your computer onto the "Kindle" drive. After the file has transferred successfully, eject the Kindle to disconnect your Kindle from your computer safely. Note: For Kindle Scribe, use the Disconnect option displayed on screen. Disconnect the charging cable from your Kindle and your computer. On your Kindle home screen, tap the Menu icon, and then tap Settings. Tap the Menu icon again, and then tap Update Your Kindle. Tap OK to perform the update. The message Your Kindle is Updating appears.

Is the screen feel different on the new Scribe? I felt it at Best Buy and felt like it was different than the original Kindle which was more of a mesh film which was awesome to write on. I heard they coated the new Scribe and the text is not as sharp. Q1: How do the screen feel and write? Resistance? Q2: Is the new Scribe as clear for readability or blurry due to the matte film?

Why is it no scribe caster mentions the on/off feature of putting the pen magnetically on the large bezel?
@onemanbookclub2585
@onemanbookclub2585 Ай бұрын
That's not a feature, strictly speaking. It's more a hack that works because of the way the magnetic case turns the Kindle on/off. The magnet in the pen does the same thing. You have to set the pen in just the right way to make it work, though, and it doesn't stick strong enough to hold the pen in place. Either way though, it WOULD be a great video hack to share! Thanks for the idea!

@@onemanbookclub2585 In that case, the full hack is to get a scribe pen holder with an elastic band, then place it around the long black side. If you situate it just right, you can wiggle the pen to turn it off and on, or pull the pen for on and the pen in for off.

The AI Features (Handwriting improving & Summarization) are not available in Canada, Australia, and the U.K., i.e. outside the U.S.A. Very discouraging and a slap in the face for someone like me who has touted the Kindle Scribe from day one. In my opinion, no one should support this company unless/until this outrageous omission is corrected.
