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.

More brush types
for more ways to write

A pen and a highlighter are always handy but sometimes you need more options. Try the new fountain pen for beautiful calligraphy, switch to marker to emphasize your notes, or use the new pencil for light sketching. All writing tools now feature enhanced pressure and tilt capabilities.

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 (Microsoft 365 subscription required).

Read and write
in any light

Adjustable warm light and auto-adjusting front light provide a comfortable, personalized reading and writing experience, day or night. And with USB-C charging and a battery life that lasts months for reading and weeks for writing, you can immerse yourself in your content without the worry of finding a power outlet.

A world class library,
more beautiful than ever

The Kindle Stores worldwide offer an unmatched library of content with more than 13 million titles. With a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you gain unlimited access to millions of comics, audiobooks, magazine subscriptions, fiction, and newly added top nonfiction books.
