"The Scribe's software has also felt a little barebones-the writing tools felt tacked on to the more mature reading experience offered by the Kindle's operating system-but that's gradually improving. All the new Scribes support syncing files with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive (though not Dropbox or other services), and the devices can export notebooks to Microsoft's OneNote app so that you can pick up where you left off on a PC or Mac."
"Other software improvements include a redesigned Home screen, "AI-powered search," and a new shading tool that can be used to add shading or gradients to drawings and sketches. We've asked Amazon whether existing Scribe owners can expect to see any or all of these features added via software updates at some point down the line, and we'll update if we receive a response."
The regular Kindle Colorsoft underperformed due to limited color usefulness on a small screen and lack of pen input, which also slightly degraded monochrome text quality. The larger Scribe Colorsoft can better handle comics, graphic novels, and full-color document reading and annotation, offering potential upside despite color e-ink limitations. Amazon has been slower to add color than some competitors, and the Scribe's writing tools feel like additions to an otherwise mature Kindle reading OS. New Scribes gain cloud sync with Google Drive and OneDrive, OneNote export, a redesigned Home, AI-powered search, and a shading tool. Amazon has not confirmed whether existing Scribe owners will receive these features via updates.
