To transfer files from an iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone, etc. to Kindle Scribe, you need to install the Kindle app first. This time, I will check the file transfer procedure on the iPhone.
First,
Tap 'Open' when installation is completed.
When the Kindle application starts, enter the e-mail address and password used in Kindle Scribe and tap 'Login'.
After successfully logging in, preparation is complete. Quit the Kindle app and you're good to go.
The procedure for transferring files is as follows. First, open the file you want to transfer and then tap the share button. This time, I tapped the share button after opening the photo I wanted to transfer with the 'Photos' app.
When the share menu appears, tap Kindle.
When the following screen is displayed, enter your favorite name in the 'author name' input field and tap 'Send'.
The transfer is completed when 'File has been sent' is displayed. Tap 'OK' to close the dialog.
After a short wait, the transferred files will appear in your Kindle Scribe library. Tap to check the contents.
Then, the transferred photos were displayed as black and white photos.
To write a handwritten memo, tap the red frame button in the menu.
Then tap anywhere on the screen outside the menu. In the case of photos, you cannot choose where to leave the handwritten memo, and the result will not change no matter where you tap.
When you tap inside the screen, the handwritten area will be displayed as shown below and you will be able to leave a handwritten memo. I thought that I could leave a memo anywhere on the photo, so I was disappointed that I could only leave a memo in the handwriting area.
