Amazon Kindle Scribe Sales and Update 5.16.5 Overview, Searchable Handwriting PDFs!

[Music] hello my name is Voya and welcome to my deep guide and today we are checking out a new update for the Kindle scribe along with really really interesting price slashes that they actually have on the Kindle scribe currently on pretty much all of the bundles that you can find so I thought that it would be a good idea to bring those two together and actually show you what's it about and also a one little bit of extra as well for somebody who may be interested in that um my Kindle did not want to update at all on its own so I had to perform the manual update and um yeah in this video you will see a very short guide on how to do that should you need it but before we start all of that I want to say that the md24 and MMP of course they all work now correctly on the Kindles scribe so when mdo was released originally you can find it on myep guy.com shop and you can find more details about it in the video description below you'll find the links for the uh playlist there but when MD 2024 was originally released I also issued a warning for Kindle scribe users that there was some error with the um sent to Kindle service and it just would not send uh correctly larger documents which mdo is and since then this has been remedied and it now works properly so yeah you're welcome to check out the myg guide.com shop for MD and MMP if you're interested in having a kickass good organizer um on your Kindle scribe or if you're just interested in supporting the independence of my deep guide and now onwards with the video all right first things first before I even go with the new features what's new on the Kindle scribe I want to go over the procedure of updating because I'm not the only one who sometimes has issues with updates actually not going through for the device and um normally the way it should function is that you basically just press sync and it's going to you know fetch the update and everything's going to be fine it's going to ask you to update and that's the way it's supposed to go of course you have to be online in order to do that now what do you do if that does not work then you follow the steps that are laid out in the Amazon Kindle update page and link to that you will find in the video description step number one that you need to do is you need to download the update file manually that's going to be a bin file so binary file that you need to download and you save it somewhere on your computer because you're going to be uh transferring that manually onto your Kindle so then step two is you hook up the Kindle via the USBC cable to your computer and you leave it in the USB drive mode as it is in USB drive mode the downloaded file the bin file that you've downloaded you simply drag and drop it to the root of the Kindle which appeared as a USB drive on your computer you wait for that to be copied then step three is you eject safely the Kindle from your computer you don't yank out the cable you eject it first so that it can come back into a normal uh yeah normal mode of operation that's very important to do now once you've transferred your update file onto your Kindle then it's again fairly simple you simply tap on the menu you go to settings you go to device options Advanced options and this grade out option here will no longer be grade out once you have a firmware in the rout if the Kindle recognizes it it will enable this option and then you will be able to to just simply tap update your Kindle and the update procedure will go as normally all right so there hasn't been too many dramatic things at least on paper looks like there's not too many dramatic things uh that have been added to Kindle so let's go through the mundane ones uh first as they've actually also listed them they've saved the best for last so the first one is yeah talk about mundane in your library the collections that you make you can now watch them in list mode definitely useful but holy moly talk about a low bar for calling something a feature like wow okay but all right that's new you can now view your collections as lists definitely useful uh the next thing is everything is regarding notebooks the next three things the first one is that now when you go to the page over notebook overview which is this icon here and you have the pages now if you long press uh and hold you will enter the multi- select option where we can finally make a multi selection of pages that we want um to make it all work uh this works almost great except that it lacks one obvious thing uh anyone cares to take a guess what all we don't have an option to select all if you're implementing something completeness is the name of of the game and yeah there's definitely no reason why you wouldn't have select all option in a multi- select feature and functionality from the multi selction option you can actually delete the selection you can move the selected pages and you can share the selected Pages what you can also do is you can add an in uh uh uh insert an empty page and the way that it actually works is it inserts it after the selected pages right so it's going to look at the last one oh no that's what that was very strange so this is this is supposed to work if I add a page yes it adds after the selection but if you have multiple Pages selected it should add on next to this one no I don't want to delete I want to add but it's going to it's going to do the same procedure for every selection it just has a four Loop so basically for each item that's selected add the blank page after it okay well that's unusual functionality it's weird but that's how it works and yeah you can move to can you move to a different uh to a different notebook move tap a vertical line to move page to that position ah okay wow that's counterintuitive and where's my undo I don't want to H wow okay wow that sucks that really really sucks holy moly yeah okay that's how you move the page so multi- select mode is there in notebooks the implementation of it is bizarre and incomplete but it something's there at least another new thing that we have is is when we go to share we have the option of sharing a single page so we can share the current page and you can of course share the entire notebook and here we come to the most important feature of the new uh update and that is this option here so in these options you have quick sent to your last used email or my email address in this case I guess then you have share email and then you can specify to which email you want to share but then we have convert to text and quick send and convert to text and email but the new thing comes in the form of sending as a searchable PDF and that's something that's new so if I go to convert text and email that's the conver conversion the conversion is done fairly fairly well not really not excellent it didn't understand the note a 3C it couldn't understand the three number so so it was just going like is it an S is it a b no it's a three and it didn't get the parentheses here so everything else it was actually able to do it quite well so what is the new thing well now we you go to share of course you can send to blah blah uh but you also have the option to attach notebook as a searchable PDF and then you can send and that is actually pretty cool for that we need to get over to the computers for you to actually see it all right so let's start with checking out how the regular notebook is normally uh exported and this is the regular notebook and wherever I click on it even if I click on text it will simply select this whole thing as an image and basically the text is not selectable if I go control F and let's say I search for word while it has no no matches and that's that so that's the normal type of Behavior now let's see this is uh let's check out the page if it is ex so this is single page exported as a text and this is the text conversion that has been exported as a text file now here is the same page the the text Page the single page that has been exported but this time as a searchable PDF you'll notice that it looks exactly the same as the regular one right and if I click on an empty patch it will behave the same however the cursor changes as soon as I hit the letters you can see that we can actually select words here furthermore if I go contrl f and I search for while and press enter it is actually searchable which is abs absolutely fantastic now when I look at the whole notebook this is how a whole notebook looks like in a text format when you export it and this is how it looks like in the searchable PDF right so everything as you would uh expect it right so that kind of makes sense but when we do uh two things first of all if I do search um I don't know let's uh let's search search for uh don't right and then it automatically goes exactly to the word where I want it to um or maybe let's see what do we have in here um yeah lets and that also works and let's go back to the uh note air 3C and it finds the whole thing connected as well right so maybe you can just say like test notebook B it just works right so as long as the conversion is something because this is the text that it's looking for so this is the text that it sees underneath all of this and the more important and more interesting thing that they're not actually talking about is and I kind of noticed that when I started going around if you can see how the cursor is moving around I'm just moving it via the keyboard and now when I press shift and I start doing this I can select my handwritten text in the PDF and if I just drag and make this selection and I just do control copy and then go here to an empty um uh document and I go control+ V I have pasted the text that I've selected from my searchable handwritten PDF file and that that is pretty freaking cool cuz I can just go like this copy go into wherever Word document or something like that you paste the text H or email or whatever you want and that just works this is really really real world usable type of functionality that I'm very very happy to see somebody that has actually implemented it and to be honest nobody has that supernote doesn't have that remarkable doesn't have that books doesn't have that and here is one very very important real world thing that uh yeah Kindle scribe is currently excelling at well all right on paper um the update seems like a very small kind of update and they do start with like really tiny tiny little things but amongst those tiny little things there is one feature that has been implemented on this which is extremely useful and extremely extremely good now this is exactly the point that I'm trying to make when I'm saying that remarkable has lost its direction and has lost track of the big picture um granted I think that Kel and remarkable are you know they can compete who is uh going to count smaller things as updates like woohoo you have an option of viewing your collections as lists as a feature like wow that is definitely remarkable level of things however since remarkable released the folio I propose to you that they have lost the direction that their developers have been distracted or they have been as a development team have been distracted with the folio and the T texting um because they're not really focusing on things that matter and what it primarily is and that is a digital paper replacement tablet kind of a thing and I'm sorry but right now this thing that Kindle has with the ability to export as your handwritten PDF but you can also like uh select you can search the words and you can just select and copy paste that into a document that is absolutely freaking awesome now the thing that's really not awesome with Kindle still is that the only way to actually share this awesomeness is via email that is absolutely mind-blowing to me that they're still completely locked into that whole thing and that you have the limitations of yeah well the email limitations that you may have so that's something that you definitely have to kind of keep in mind but for regular type of use I think that you won't have a problem with that but you know with bigger stuff definitely you will run into that limitation so that's definitely something to keep in mind however this November 2023 update for the Kindle sub cribe brings really really relevant stuff and Powerful stuff to the platform let me know in the comments down below what you think of it and what do you think of this whole functionality and should maybe remarkable have been the first to actually have done this I mean they've been longer in the game they've been more focused on the whole digital paper tablet thing yet whoop Here Comes you know Kindle not even a full year in the game and they've already figured stuff about that uh yeah remarkable hasn't figured out in 6 years and that's that's something to think about at least for me what do you guys think thank you so much for
