Another option to moving PDFs and other documents to the Scribe is to use Calibre. It'll automatically connect to the Scribe without any additional software when you connect via USB-C. Then use "Send to Main Memory" to move the converted KFX files to the Kindle. Then you'll get writable sticky note capability for PDFs and eBooks. (I'm not affiliated with Calibre in any way.) The new format is KFX. For purchased eBooks you'll also need to enter your Scribe serial number using a DRM plugin. (I use an M1 Mac.) (Side loading PDFs currently do not support "write-on" capability.)

How about the "convert" opition of sending an email to your kindle device email address with attached a pdf file by typing "convert" on the subject of the email? Is it still working in the Kindle Scribe?

Many thanks for this very informative video.
I do care about privacy, but I need to buy a Kindle. Is there a way to do both?!

Glad this video was helpful! Regarding potentially better "data security" on the Kindle Scribe, see the top comment by another viewer. This may help...however, I don't have experience using the software he mentioned and cannot speak to the experience of using it myself.
