Kindle Scribes Now Support Writing Notes on PDFs Loaded Via USB

Amazon appears to be rolling out a new feature for Kindle Scribe devices that allows users to write notes directly on PDFs loaded via USB. While some users report having access to the functionality, others with the same model and software version do not, suggesting a gradual or selective update. This enhancement addresses a long-requested capability for the e-reader/note-taking hybrid.

Background

The Kindle Scribe is Amazon's first e-reader with a large screen and stylus support, positioned as a device for both reading and note-taking. A key limitation since its launch has been the inability to annotate sideloaded PDFs directly.
