2. Can I view my notes on other Kindle surfaces?
You can view your Kindle Scribe notebooks through the Kindle app for iOS and Android. To access them, go to the “More” tab in the app and select “Notebooks” to view all the notebooks created on your Kindle Scribe. Additionally, you can view any highlights or sticky notes you made in books; however, you can't view underlines or Active Canvas notes.
3. How do I use the AI notebook tools?
To summarize, open a notebook, tap the AI icon, and select “Summarize”. Choose up to 15 pages (or specific pages from Bird's Eye View) to extract key takeaways, saving time in reviewing your notes.
For writing refinement, tap the AI icon and choose “Refine Writing”. Select up to 10 pages to convert your handwriting into a polished, script-like font. This works best for narrative-style notes, to-do lists, or nested lists, but may not be as effective for non-linear layouts like calendars or planners.
Both tools may need time to sync new notebooks. For a faster experience, tap “Sync” to manually sync your notes before using AI tools. You can customize the font style, size, and spacing of the output. Results are inserted into your notebook using a blank page template for a clean, organized presentation. AI notebook tools are supported for the English language and are available in the US.

Seems we may be waiting some time for more regions and languages to be supported. Wonder why?
One use of Active Canvas that has captured my fancy is to insert one as a 'spacer' where formatting should have had it (as signaled by an unindented first line of a paragraph). With the active canvas tool selected, you can use stylus or fingertip to insert it, then use the bottom 'handle' to reduce vertical size to minimum (about 3 lines).
But I still would like a way to minimize/restore a given active canvas (or all of them). And Notes should always show the whole thing, not as it might appear clipped in reading view due to reducing the canvas size.
