In a nutshell, you either have to use Amazon’s Send To Kindle functionality to send your books via the cloud (in which case your books will be stored on Amazon’s servers), or change the book type to PDOC (personal document) in the conversion options of your book (the “MOBI output” or “KFX output” section in the Calibre conversion screen), but this comes with a loss of functionality, in particular WhisperSync.
It's not only the Colorsoft. It's the PW6 as well. I don't know about the 2024 Scribe.
