Amazon's Send to Alexa+ feature arrives on Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft

Engadget reports that Send to Alexa+ is rolling out on the current Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft, fulfilling the feature Amazon teased when Colorsoft launched. Notebooks and documents on the tablet can sync into Alexa+ so the assistant can see them on other Amazon surfaces.

Prime and Alexa+ subscribers can also reach those notes from Echo and Fire TV; Alexa+ can summarize handwriting, spin up to-dos, and drop items on a calendar. If you already live in Amazon's stack, it's another nudge to keep notes inside their garden; if you don't, it's still mostly a convenience play for people who wanted the Scribe to behave like a smarter fridge magnet for tasks.
