One question I have is whether Scribe will support Print Replica format ('PDF in a container', used for many textbooks, as many of them don't covert satisfactorily to a reflow-able format). There's no indication that it will (AZW4 is not listed in the specs), but it would certainly be a nice thing to have for students who are pursuing MSTE studies. Scribe has a sufficiently large enough display to do a good job with these.
There are reports (credible in the opinion of some) that Scribe will be running some sort of FireOS, and therefore some version of Kindle for Android, which does support Print Replica.
And of course FireOS would be a good platform for developing apps for Scribe (like the apps we already know of that come with Scribe already).
