I ordered Scribe Colorsoft 64GB this morning. Won't arrive until early January. I had a Kindle to trade in for 20% + $20 and put it on zero interest Prime card payment plan. Will see what covers are available by then.
I have low expectations about the Google Drive integration:

2. How can I import my documents onto Kindle Scribe?
You can now import Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive documents, directly onto your Kindle Scribe. Most imports convert quickly in under a minute, but larger ones may take longer.
You can also use Send to Kindle to import documents from your desktop web browser and the Kindle app. Supported file types that you can import this way include PDF, DOCX, eBooks in EPUB format, as well as other common document formats like JPG, PNG, HTML, and TXT. When you import or export documents from Kindle Scribe, you're creating a new copy because syncing documents with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive isn’t currently supported.

So it's getting converted to print replica on-device in the case of GD/OD. Less clear is what the export involves: does it save this "new copy" back to GD/OD, or do you still need to export to PDF using Amazon services? It would be nice if it actually converted annotations to PDF annotations in any case instead of flattening them to a background raster image as it does now. It's not as if they have not had a lot of time to design and implement something better, it's been 3 years now..
(and is 'GD/OD document' only 'PDF'? that's what I'm assuming)
It's not my use case, so just a matter of curiosity for me.
