Save Kindle Scribe Notes to Obsidian
To save your Kindle Scribe notes to Obsidian, email the pages from your Kindle Scribe to your Flowstate project address. Flowstate transcribes the handwriting and saves each note as its own Markdown file in your vault, usually within a couple of minutes.
Updated July 2026
Why Obsidian can't do this on its own
Kindle Scribe has no Obsidian integration. Newer models can upload notebooks to Google Drive or OneDrive as PDFs or converted text, but they won't land in your Obsidian vault as a Markdown note on their own.
Email your notes
- Flowstate gives you a unique email address for each save location, so you can route different notes to different places. Journal pages get saved in one place, lecture notes to another.
- Open your Kindle Scribe notebook. Select the pages you want to send, tap the share icon and choose to send it by email, as a PDF. Enter your Flowstate email address.
- If you want, you can use the email body to give Flowstate optional instructions for how to read your notes. For example, tell Flowstate how to interpret your shorthand, or how to turn handwritten symbols into formatting, tags, and more.
- Send it off!
Flowstate takes it from there
After you send in your note, Flowstate transcribes it, adds a title, and automatically saves it to the location you chose in Obsidian using the Flowstate Obsidian plugin. It usually takes just a couple minutes.
A copy of the original handwriting or audio file is also saved to your attachment folder and embedded within each note.
Common questions
Do I need to install anything on the device?
No. You use the built-in send-by-email feature — nothing to install on the tablet itself.
What format do the notes arrive in?
Plain Markdown. Each note becomes its own file in the folder you choose, or gets appended to an existing file.
Do I need a plugin?
Yes. Notes sync into your vault through the Flowstate Obsidian plugin — the full guide walks you through installing it.
How much does it cost?
Flowstate runs on credits. One page of handwriting, or one minute of audio, is one credit. You start with 50 free credits, no card required, and top up whenever you're running low. Purchased credits never expire.
Does Flowstate rewrite my notes?
No. It transcribes what you wrote, cleans up the formatting, and files it where it belongs. Your words stay your words.
