Add handwritten notes
to your books
Create handwritten sticky notes in millions of eBooks from the Kindle Store without cluttering up the page. Simply tap where you want to insert a note on the page to quickly capture that handwritten thought for later. Sticky notes are automatically organized by book, into one place, so you can easily navigate, browse, and export all your in-book notes.
Streamline your
life’s notes
Kindle Scribe is also a notebook and a journal with included templates like lined paper, blank paper, to-do lists, and more. Stop searching through stacks of paper—keep notes organized in folders, and search for notebooks by title to quickly reference later. Get access to your notebooks through the Kindle app sync feature.
Make notes in
your documents
Securely import files to your Kindle Scribe through Send to Kindle (on your desktop web browser, or the “Share” button via the Kindle app for iOS and Android). Files imported via Send to Kindle are encrypted in transit, and while stored, are secure in Amazon’s data centers, which are designed to meet the most stringent security requirements in the world. Mark up PDF files imported in original layout, or insert sticky notes on imported Microsoft Word documents and other compatible Send to Kindle file formats. Coming early 2023, you will also be able to send documents to your Kindle Scribe directly through Microsoft Word.
