Any chance of local synchronization?
From examining strings in the Scribe firmware it appears that "Datamate" refers to an Amazon server involved in notebook synchronization. The default URL seems to be "https://sync.datamate.kindle.amazon.dev/graphql". That is all I know about it.

Perhaps you could change the URL in the JSON file to point to your own server but unless Amazon goofed badly you will not be able to establish a connection due to SSL security. Even if you can connect, working out the details of the synchronization protocol is going to be difficult. And if Amazon finds out you are doing it then that file will likely be moved somewhere inaccessible in a future firmware release.
