Any not-Scribe (desktop or tablet or eink) that has annotation for PDFs; you just copy the PDF on /off directly. Some applications allow direct export of the annotation.
On the Scribe if you want to do more than simply read the PDF:
1) Send PDF to Amazon
2) WiFi connection and download load KFX version
So that's once, but two connections.
Add annotation
3) Send to Amazon
4) Get back email on PC of the annotation.
So "going through Amazon twice".
Even the reMarkable (1 or 2) is simpler than that. The Elipsa simpler still. Any decent iPad or decent Android tablet with digitiser is simpler. They are all private and need no server nor Internet. I have or had all of those, with suitable pens/stylus, except the iPad (and Pencil), which I have borrowed.
I considered a Scribe but waited for comments by keen users such as Tomsem here and realised it was Amazon control madness for anything other than reading a PDF. I have K3, DGX and Paperwhite 3. I've had a PW1, Basic and Oasis 2. I also used Amazon desktop software till 2017 when I ditched Windows, though still have some on a VM.
