I am replying from my Daylight Computer. Happy to answer questions about it. https://daylightcomputer.com
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does a jail broken Kindle allow me to remove the DRM from Kindle ebooks downloaded to it? (I genuinely don't know. Until now, I've always downloaded Kindle purchases via ”Download and transfer via USB”, then stripped the DRM and transferred to the device with Calibre.)
Not in and of itself, no. It would allow another source to downloading them from the Amazon website (as that is going away) on to a PC where stripping software can (in some cases) be applied. It also might (but might not) be a way for decryption keys to be extracted from devices for that purpose, but it doesn't automatically provide such an exploit.
Right.
I wonder how hard it is, or would be, to simply emulate whatever alternative channel the Kindle devices use to download Kindle ebooks from Amazon's servers.
Until now, there hasn't been much motivation to do so, since the "download and transfer via USB" in option existed. But now there obviously will be.
I wonder how many Kindles were hurt during the making of this…
KOReader on Kindle Scribe 2022: https://imgur.com/a/oYshWxI KOReader is so good for reading PDFs, compared to the native reader, I’m very impressed. Supports proper landscape mode (where swiping to next page moves to the second half of the current page, THEN next swipe gets you to the first half of the next page), supports auto-rotation, support auto-cropping of PDFs with controllable margin (killer feature), support…
Can you still use the full functionality of the Scribe's pencil? (highlight text, drawing or writing notebooks, etc.) Thanks.

Which book is being read in that screenshot? Looks interesting. I did a few searches based on the text and couldn't find it.

I have a lot of PDFs and this is the most interesting. Do you use the Calibre KOReader add-on to sync and manage? Does that work well? Do deletions of books sync? Does highlighting annotation work/sync fine? I would make the move just for that alone since SendtoKindle is kind of basic.

I always found KOReader to be too fiddly for ePubs, has that changed recently or have I been doing it wrong? I want a set of sane defaults to be applied to every book, I don’t want to tweak every book individually. This leads to distraction for me

Does it have rotation lock? That's my single biggest pet peeve about the Kindle Scribe.
