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 and highlights.

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 notebooks organized in folders and subfolders, 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.

your documents

Securely import files to your Kindle Scribe through Send to Kindle or with the “Share” button of the Kindle app for iOS and Android). Files imported through Send to Kindle are encrypted during transport and, while stored, are secure in Amazon's data centers, which are designed to meet the requirements most stringent security in the world. Mark up imported PDFs with the original design or insert sticky notes into documents imported from Microsoft Word and other compatible file formats to send to Kindle. In early 2023, you'll also be able to send documents to your Kindle Scribe directly through Microsoft Word.
