The real mobi format can't take embedded fonts at all. You need azw3 or kfx on a Kindle.
The Scribe is slightly sharper than the Elipsa, but you can't properly manage it with Calibre as it has the same limitations with collections and series data as any Kindle. In addition the Scribe now uses MTP mode, which is awkward.
I have the 8" Sage (300 dpi) and the Elipsa. I only use the Elipsa for some PDFs where the text is too small on the Sage. I considered the Scribe, but the need to use Amazon even for my own documents to annotate them put me off. Since then the Scribe has changed to MTP which I dislike. MTP is no slower for file transfer but much slower for a directory listing or file search. MTP has other issues too. The reason for MTP is tighter control and not having to have any FAT or exFAT partition.
The Elipsa & Sage never need to phone home or have WiFi. I read my Amazon ebooks on the Sage.
The other aspect is weight. A 10"+ ereader is OK on a desk or stand, but hugely heavier than an 8" ereader, which is about a perfect size for actual ebook novels. You might want 10" for comics, but my LCD Lenovo tablet is half that price and fine for comics as none are as long as a novel.
