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.

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. |

I am not familiar with the CLI. I own a registered kindle. If I use the send to kindle fonction with this registered kindle, would it create the right KFX file, that I could transfer to the unregistered kindle?

To get print replica KFX you could install and register one of the qualifying versions of Kindle for Windows or macOS to download any print replica documents sent to Send to Kindle, and then use KFX input plugin to add KFX for side loading. No CLI needed. You can get a sorta print replica KFX using Kindle Create and CLI etc. but they will not be fully functional. Comic Book/Manga created with Kindle Create fare better when converted to KFX with CLI. Cannot remember if panel view works or not but you don't really need it for a Scribe with its large screen .
