Amazon just added new software features to its latest Kindle device, theKindle Scribe , that will help users get the most out of their e-readers, including some that fulfill popular requests. These features are included in an update that will be automatically downloaded and installed over the next few weeks, though users canmanually download the latest software as well. 

The biggest feature included in this software update enables Microsoft 365 subscribers to send Word documents (.doc and .docx files) directly to their Kindle Scribe right from the Microsoft Word window.

This feature also lets users select a format to send the document, where choosing "Like a printed document" allows for on-page writing with the Kindle Scribe pen, and "Like a Kindle book" lets users add handwritten sticky notes in their Scribe. 

The rest of the new features include: options to view books in one or two columns when in landscape orientation; Notebook Overview to see a bird's eye view of your notebook pages; and the ability to adjust the contrast on PDFs with a contrast slider.
