What to dio with blacklisted Scribe
Ordered Scribe on Father day, shipping delayed, was sent a new one, then first one also arrived so now have 2 but the first one is blacklisted.
Contacted Amazon and was told I can send it back or dispose it. I don't live in the US so sending back is a major pain in the ass for me and not going to do it because of their mistake. CS told me if I try to use it they will charge me for it. I assume they meant if I try to log in? or else how would they know I am trying to use it? What are my options now? Is it possible to sideload books on it? Can I even get to the home screen without registering? I assume jailbreaking isnt possible since I can't log in |

You can sideload, but it's crippled. Or at least that used to be true.
Amazon's policy of blacklisting and making some local functions only work if registered, or only work remotely on web account (no computer control) is horrible. That's why I didn't buy a Scribe and gave away my Oasis 2. I still have DXG, K3 and PW3, but I will never buy another Kindle unless they change to make it fully functional without an account or the Internet. It's an ereader (with notes if a Scribe), it's worse than Apple's walled garden that the EU is pulling down. So you can sideload ebooks, no collections without a jailbreak. PDF annotation seems to need conversion to KFX print replica. Well, it was free? |

I don't need anything other than sidloading books on it. I am just not sure it is even possible to skip the login screen. I am worried they might charge me if I open it although I am not sure how would they know if I didn't login.
Yeah, it was free |

I don't wish to discourage you from trying, but I don't think that it's possible to skip login. It connects to Amazon servers at that step and registers device.

Hi,
I am in this exact situation. You can skip registering, and sideload books using Calibre. I have also been able to jaibreak it, and writte sticky notes on books sideloaded with KFX output plugins. I could not create notebooks. If anyone knows how to do, please let me know. I tried to copy a notebook created from the non blacklisted scribe, but could not open it on the blacklisted scribe. |
