Reminder (in case you have not picked up on it): only Scribe is getting Print Replica (one of several fixed-layout KFX formats). And it while it may look like the PDF you sent, it does not (yet) walk and talk like one. In particular, you cannot select, highlight, do dictionary lookup, or search for text, even though that all works with Store-bought content in Print Replica format with the Kindle apps.
Everything else (including Kindle apps) still getting the PDF you sent. So PDF behavior means nothing in terms of what it does on Scribe.
You can generate Print Replica to test on non-Scribe Kindles (running latest firmware), and apparently they can render them.
But it's anyone's guess when the update to provide the expected functionality (interacting with text) will show up. It's now almost 3 months since Scribe shipped. Wonder if the layoffs in the devices org have delayed things.
