  • New instructions: "Draw a rectangle, oval, triangle, or line in 1 stroke. Keep your stylus down and hold. Your sketch snaps into a clean shape."
I wonder if KindleSyncService will improve sync of handwritten annotations - in my past experiments it can be relatively slow to sync these between my 2 Scribes, compared to text and highlight annotations.

IIRC, previous updates had reference to 'shapes'. I assume this does not involve any change to nbk format.

It would be nice if they got around to implementing some way to rotate selection.
