I'd really use it a lot if it did Undo. |

I don't disagree with you. We want the same thing.

If the button was available for undo, I’d probably go back to using the Scribe pencil too.

I've made an adjustment that is working for me so far: I've assigned Erase to the button. This lets me keep my thumb resting on the button for quicker access, and of the available options, Erase is the one I use most.
Flipping the Pen over to use the eraser might be cute and 'intuitive', but it is not nearly as quick, and requires one to position the button again after flipping it back. Maybe after a few hundred of these one can do this without fumbling, but it still would not be as quick. Also the eraser requires more pressure, makes more noise/vibration (a tiny bit unpleasant), and feels less precise. Now I'd like to be able to assign other actions to the eraser! I've added to my Scribe wish list here Last edited by tomsem; 05-29-2023 at 02:11 PM. |

It works like this: with writing bar disabled you can still write on the document while pushing the button. The eraser also works when the writing bar is gone. Win win for me as I rarely annotate. The only thing missing is adding sticky notes - sometimes there is not enough room to write on top. |

Did not understand the last sentence however. Sticky Notes aren't available in Print Replica, and the writing area for them is always the same size. |

Yeah, I want sticky notes in print replica as a new thing. They are artificially limiting it for now good reason. If you run out of margins, for example.

Assuming they complete the implementation of PDF markup (by returning original PDF with Scribe annotations mapped to PDF annotations), these would get left behind (or perhaps inelegantly converted to free form pen annotations). So they need to stick to a proper subset of PDF annotations (ideally a more complete set of them by the time they're done). Of course, maybe they aren't planning to do any of this.

Hi there!
I want to ask a question to all my fellow manga readers on Scribe, I’ve searched in the forum but have not found any clue about it. How are you converting your nonDRM mangas (bought from other stores) to read it on the Scribe ? I find myself a little dificult to do it fine, because using KCC does not make it on full resolution, because it uses kindlegen wich downscale images because the scribe resolution is not suported on Mobi files… and I find the images are a little bit blurry or softened. Is there any way to get them converted on full resolution in an easy way ? Thx in advance !! |

You can try Kindle Create, or the older Kindle Comic Creator. Unpack the CBR/CBZ so you can add the image files with one of the tools. If they aren't .jpg, covert them to .jpg. Kindle Comic Creator will output KF8 (with .mobi file extension, which you could change to .azw3). Kindle Create will output KPF. You can use calibre KFX Import plugin's command line interface to convert this to FXL ePub or PDF. I think Send To Kindle should convert ePub to a functional KF8 file. I am trying things with a manga CBZ downloaded from archive.org. Kindle Comic Creator is more 'one step' (creates KF8 with specified metadata), but seems to choke on high resolution manga files (1245x3056). Not sure how much reduction is necessary, but it only lets you input 960 x 1280 as the canvas dimensions (though it handles larger images as per previous experiments). Kindle Create handles the high resolution images without any trouble. Kindle Create + KFX Input doesn't generate Kindle format, so additional steps are needed to add, metadata and convert from FXL ePUB or PDF to a Kindle format. Send To Kindle will handle either FXL ePub or PDF (and let you set Title/Author), but I think ePub should yield better results. Not sure panel view information (if any) survives. If not, perhaps KFX Input can be enhanced to do this. Not sure if calibre will do a decent conversion to Kindle format, as it doesn't have official support for FXL ePub. That said, I think either is a viable alternative to Kindle Comic Converter. My preference would be Kindle Create. Last edited by tomsem; 08-30-2023 at 04:19 PM. |
