I've got tons of epubs I read on my current Kobo and would like to convert them and sideload them onto the Kindle. I doubt that I'll need anything from Amazon other than the reader itself.

Is it possible to use a Kindle Scribe without activating it with Amazon or do I have to connect it to an Amazon account?
If the software is the same as other kindles you will be promoted to add it to an Amazon account during set up. You can’t get past that. As for deregistering it after set up, certain functions, such as collections, don’t work without the Kindle being linked to an Amazon account.
