If it's only ePubs (or converted azw3 or mobi), then consider a Kobo Sage, 8″ @ 300 dpi. I found the 10.3″ (reMarkable and Elipsa) too big and heavy for prolonged reading.
The Scribe, as with all Kindles, only has Series info when the book bought from Amazon has it. Collections can't be done by Calibre and only manually at all when registered. The Collections are meant to be managed on your Amazon web page.
In addition "Send to Kindle" via web or email needs the Kindle to be registered and some of the extra functionality in the Scribe uses Amazon's servers.
Unless you have good eyesight and loading A4/Letter size PDFs you'd not notice the 300 dpi vs 227 dpi, but the Sage is essentially an 8″ version of the Elipsa with warmlight and page turn buttons. I ignored the Sage because I had a Libra, but after 2 or 3 days of using the Elipsa I bought the Sage and use it to read all my epubs and many PDFs. It's a better size for note taking too.
The Kindles need you to register and be happy with Amazon's services, especially the Scribe. I nearly bought a Scribe because of the 300 dpi, but I'm glad I didn't. I'll make do with the Sage and occasional Elipsa use till something better comes.
