Certain makes of Alkaline only 9V mini power pack have 6 x cells similar enough to AAAA in them, just be careful of polarity. The retail cells have a fake bump at plus (+) end. The internal cells are flat at (+) and have a nub at the (-) minus end. Tear apart leaving jumper strips on the flat (+) end and fold to make a bump. The more expensive Alkaline packs use 6 stacked rounded oblong cells. The really cheap carbon packs use stacked carbon-like biscuit cells (layer cells).
But most bargain shops here sell AAAA, often in a €2 pack with 12V mini battery for doorbells and keyfobs (though keys often use a coin cell now). Widely available cheap online. Just don't waste money on Duracell or Energiser.
HOWEVER I think I read that the Kindle Scribe doesn't use a battery in the stylus; some sort of Wacom EMR system.
