Personal notebooks that are based on the blank page template also lack any template content. As far as I can tell they are internally identical to the notebooks used for annotations.

There is currently no software (outside of Amazon's) that can alter the format used by notebooks (KDF). It would be possible to create something but so far the need has not been great enough to be worth the effort involved.

That is an odd result. Perhaps the software is having problems because the internal identifiers and state of the notebook do not match what was expected. The Scribe firmware needs to keep track of the state of each notebook in order to support update syncing. Switching out one notebook with another might break that in various ways.
If the notebook you substituted was not based on the blank template it might be worth trying again with one that is. That would be a closer match for an annotation notebook.
I did notice one change in the latest Scribe firmware, handling of "orphan" notebooks. That appears to refer to notebook files found in the .notebooks folder that are not expected to be on the device. As far as I can tell the firmware will now delete orphan notebooks when they are detected.
