I don't know what to choose since Kindle Scribe is not included.

FWIW, I would recommend using
Device: Other
Stretch/Upscale: Fully ticked
Custom width: 1860
Custom height: 2480

As far as I know those are the correct dimensions for the Scribe.

Not sure about gamma yet.
Also, given its size, you may benefit from fully ticking 'Spread splitter' as well, so that you can just look at it on its side for two-page spreads, but that's still up to you on preference.

If you experiment with custom gamma settings, please share your findings.

Thank you. When you say “fully ticking” you mean like this right?

That's clear now. Thanks. Last question, which file format do I choose for manga/comics? Do I keep it as default EPUB? Or should I choose MOBI?

I don't own a scribe but I suppose it's mobi like other kindles.

Mobi if you want to drop them in via Calibre, which you'll want to do if you want to keep the covers intact (otherwise the moment the kindle gets network connection, it'll wipe them. It's a quirk). The workaround to keep them is:

  • Use KCC to convert to mobi
  • Use Calibre to upload those files to the kindle
  • once you disconnect the kindle and it connects online, it wipes them
  • connect it again with calibre open; calibre will return the covers to them, and this time it will be permanent

Edit: If you don't care about covers, you may want to use send to kindle; ironically, amazon's send to kindle now supports epub but DOESN'T support mobi - they've phased it out for that. This has the added benefit of adding the files to your library as well for syncing across several kindles etc., though keep in mind it also has a 200MB per file limit.

Another edit: So just now I tried sending an epub created by KCC via send to kindle - and so far the cover is actually staying. Perhaps I messed up before, or perhaps something else changed, but either way another good option!
