Amazon is rolling out new Kindle Scribe software, continuing to lay the groundwork for AI tools on its notebook-forward ereader. Like most Kindle releases, version 5.19.2 rolls out across multiple models, but the most meaningful changes center on the Scribe’s note and cloud features. Specifically, the update focuses on the infrastructure behind Amazon’s evolving notebook experience.
As previously announced, Amazon is expanding support for sending notebooks to Alexa+, allowing the assistant to summarize notes, answer questions, and turn handwritten text into calendar events, to-dos, and reminders. The feature relies on Alexa+, Amazon’s subscription AI assistant, which is also currently rolling out.
