Overview
- Initial availability covers the third-generation Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, with Amazon saying older models and a no-front-light Scribe will gain support later this year.
- Users can share individual pages or entire notebooks to Alexa+, which can generate summaries, to-do lists, calendar events, reminders, brainstorming drafts, and extract details from PDFs and handwritten notes.
- Hands-on tests reported reliable results for logistics, such as converting appointment notes into calendar items and reminders and pulling key facts even from messy writing.
- Limitations include poor cursive recognition, shallow responses on complex tasks, lack of automatic update detection without re-sending, and no ability to write edits back to the original Scribe note.
- Some outputs are viewable only in the Alexa app’s chat history, and the feature requires an active Alexa+ account on the same Amazon account as the Kindle Scribe.
