Yes, I can confirm it works.

But pen annotations for Print Replica personal documents do not show, and you cannot see handwritten sticky notes with read.amazon.com, or other Kindles running the same firmware version as Scribe.

I still find 'sticky' an unpleasant adjective to use. I never used physical sticky notes and stickiness is not something I want anywhere near my reading devices. 'Handwritten notes' would have been sufficient.

I am okay with sticky notes. You really don't "write" on the book, but it is rather than writing a note on a sticky note, and stick that on the page.

Well I have my Scribe. I gambled and bought one second hand on eBay. It’s a basic 16GB with Basic Pen but it came with the mulberry leather case and I paid just under £200 for it (including next day postage). I am in love with it. I’d definitely update if they bought out a new model, perhaps with waterproofing, as I like to read in the bath and by the pool.

The first thing I did was use the browser and go to A03 and downloaded a story as AZW3 and it appeared on my home page. It worked perfectly.

It’s truly a thing of beauty.

Enjoy!

You won't be disappointed with the storage space. The only reason to buy bigger size is if you see yourself start reading a bunch of graphic novels, or any other kind of picture books with more pics than text.

I'm glad it worked out for you, but buying on ebay is taking a chance. I bought a "used" one on Amazon and it looks like brand new - not a mark on it. I bought a "used" Paperwhite before that looked like brand new, so I was willing to try it again.

I would have preferred to buy a used one on Amazon but in the UK there isn’t any.
