The Kindle Scribe is quite limited in terms of customizable options compared to Kobo devices.

What Scribe catch up:
- Side-loaded fonts are supported.
- Scribe also has the "Display Cover" option.

What options you will be missing:
- There are 14 pre-defined font sizes. Not configurable.
- For margin and line spacing options, they offer three values. Also not configurable.

Tips:
- For new documents, better choose ePub instead of Mobi format. But as of now, Kindle doesn't recognize ePub files natively. You need to convert it either through Calibre or Amazon's Send to Kindle service.
- Amazon's Send to Kindle service has support for EPUB files, however, it still assumes ISO-8859-1 encoding if no encoding is specified, while others assume UTF-8. This creates malformed formatting errors for special characters in many ePub files. https://kindle-epub-fix.netlify.app/
