Notebooks on unregistered Kindle Scribe?
So I know it's not apparently possible yet but I'm curious what the hangups would be? Or if there's a different app that would support PDF writing, since the Amazon notebooks one isn't available? Thanks!

Kindles don't run generic apps. Someone would have to write a custom notebook app and it could only be run after a jailbreak.

The best you can do unregistered is to side load PDFs converted to KFX print replica format and use those as notebooks. At least I think that should work, I cannot check without unregistering mine. Last edited by tomsem; 07-18-2024 at 06:05 PM. |

You can only write on the page if the book is in the print replica variant of KFX format. To produce that yourself without going though Amazon's send-to-kindle process you need to import a document in PDF format into Amazon's Kindle Create software, use that to produce a KPF file, and then use the KFX Output CLI to produce a print replica KFX file.

Kindle Create is needed to produce a .KPF file, and it does not have a command line interface (or other automation interface), so the plugin cannot automate this step.

Does Kindle Create work on Mac? There is no Linux version. |

Yes, Kindle Create runs on macOS and Windows, but not Linux.
I agree, if you aren't prepared to register a Scribe, don't bother to get one. |

I tried it with the Calibre addon, and it did not work. I will need to see how the CLI works. |
