First up, I need to start with an apology. I’ve neglected to write about the software updates for the Kindle Scribe since May 2023 (firmware version 5.16.2). Since that time, Amazon has released 4 major updates, taking it to firmware version 5.16.6 and I haven’t written about any of them. I’ve got no excuse other …
There’s no denying that the reMarkable 2 is a truly elegant tablet that provides an exquisite tactile writing feel and a minimalistic note-taking experience.

Whilst there are now several manufacturers of e-readers, Amazon’s Kindle is still currently the leader in this niche market. The current Kindle range of products includes the KIndle (2022), the Kindle Paperwhite, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, the Kindle Oasis, and the Kindle Scribe. They all run pretty much the same software (the notable exception …
This post was prompted by an eWritable reader that sent me the following email: I bought the Kindle Scribe so I could annotate PDF files but this only works with some PDF files. On other PDF files, the writing toolbar with the pens just isn’t there. Any ideas? Gray I’ve had the same issue myself …
The Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon’s mid-range e-reader, however, it comes in two varieties; the standard Paperwhite, and the Paperwhite Signature Edition. In this short post, I want to quickly go over the differences between these two devices.
