I discovered a hidden Kindle Scribe shortcut that immediately cleaned up my display screen

I have been a proud Kindle Scribe person for over a month now, and it is exhausting to imagine {that a} digital pocket book was in a position to fully exchange the stack of spiral-bound paper on my desk. However what I’ve additionally found is that the Scribe affords a spectacular studying expertise, too.

It is a Kindle, which makes it an e-reader by default. However most individuals actually solely use their Scribe to take notes, write lists, and usually exchange their stationery. Admittedly, the Kindle Scribe is not the simplest gadget to tote round (I desire to journey with my Paperwhite), so it is not the e-reader you wish to learn on as a result of it is handy and straightforward to carry. However throughout my lunch break, if I wish to sneak a couple of chapters of Fourth Wing into my day, the Scribe’s large 10.2-inch show is an opulent display screen to binge on some romantasy.

However there’s one little toggle on the display screen that drives me up a wall, and it is solely on the Scribe. Why? As a result of some other time you are utilizing the Scribe, you want it to maneuver between writing utensils. However I discovered a approach to conceal the toolbar, and it solely takes a couple of faucets to show your Scribe again right into a distraction-free studying gadget. Here is how.

It does not work in notebooks

If you open a e-book in your Kindle Scribe, there are two stuff you’ll see on the display screen that are not current on common Kindles: the toolbar and a pop-out annotation canvas. Whereas they’re very helpful for those who’re a constant annotator or wish to mark up your e-book with fountain pens, I discover them plain annoying.

If I am studying on my e-reader for leisure, I do not annotate and even spotlight any passages. I am there to get pleasure from my e-book, and I need my distraction-free studying gadget to truly be freed from distractions. So, I made a decision to cover each of these irritable little icons every time I am studying on my scribe with the next faucets:

1. Faucet the highest of your display screen.
2. Faucet the stop-light menu icon on the far proper.
3. Choose Cover Writing Toolbar.

Voila — when your display screen refreshes, there should not be any icons left on the display screen. The method is simply as straightforward to reverse, say, for those who open up an expert doc that wants note-taking. Comply with the identical steps as above, and choose Present Writing Toolbar the place you clicked ‘conceal’ earlier than.
