Notebooks on unregistered Kindle Scribe?

[nar001]

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.

Yeah I guess I was hoping someone had already. I imagine nobody found a way to make the stock notebooks app work then?

Scribe needs to be able to generate and decode a GUID (used for notebook folder) that is associated with your Amazon account. That requires a registered Kindle so that the account hash (or whatever it might be called) is in the expected database. Arbitrary GUID notebook folder names are ignored.

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.
