The irony is that Scribe ignores AZW4 entirely (with or without DRM removed). It does transfer successfully to a Fire tablet. The PDF in there is easily extracted by calibre or Kindle Unpack.
Allowing AZW4 download targeted to a Scribe when the Scribe ignores that format seems like the sort of mistake Amazon would make. I am more surprised that Download & Transfer via USB is still allowed at all on Kindles.

AZW4 has most of the functionality of KFX print replica. It contains a PDF that is only used to render page images along with a list of words and their locations that is used for text selection and searching. KFX print replica has a few other features such as clickable links and the ability to embed audio/video content that AZW4 lacks.
