@@goodereader Yes, that's what I said. It has the 6, 6.8 Kindle, the 7 Oasis and the 10.2 Scribe. Several manufacturers have the 7.8 inch which is a great size and a good price. The difference between PW 6.8 and Oasis is very small, it doesn't justify buying Oasis. Then a 7.8 with a stylus pen would be very good, just ereader and stylus. And I would stop with Oasis. What do you think ?
I have both. I mainly use the Scribe because of its larger size. I hold it in a case with a pocket on the front cover, and I use this pocket to help me hold it. I have a video on my own channel comparing this case with a couple others. I use the PW5 on my exercise bike, because it's about the same size as the bike's display panel, which I use as an ereader stand instead of for its original purpose, as batteries leaked in it years ago, making it no longer useful as an activity monitor, and I use a fitness-tracking watch for that instead. While it's not a natural ereader stand, I strap my PW5 to it with some Velcro looped through its case's strap.
And almost ten minutes later I still don't know how these two devices compare. Is the backlight as good? Is one of them faster/snappier? Do they have auto-rotate? How well does the ambient light sensor work in both units? Not a very in-depth video.
I used Voyage for 8 years and it was much better than anything before (Kobo, Barnes&Noble, Pocketbook etc). But now ordered Scribe just because want a larger screen. My vision deteriorated and big fonts leave very few space for text. I don't need notes and believe that additional layer makes screen worse than in other present models even with the same 300 ppi density. But unfortunately there is no choice. Everything bigger than 7'8 are tablets((
Was it so hard to show how much text can scribe display vs paperwhite? Don 't you think this is one of the biggest aspects that readers are interested of?
It depends on how fast you read. If you practice speed reading, smaller ereaders become tiring because you have to change pages very often. Perfect ereaders imo are the ones with 7.8 inches
I have both. The scribe is amazing but sometimes you need something smaller and more portable.
if you have both which one do you prefer?
plz advice me cuz i need to buy one and idk which one is better
Amazon's biggest mistake imo is keeping Oasis and not launching a 7.8 inch Kindle, with writing on the screen, and with the same price as Oasis.
It was a mistake. 6.8 in, not 7.8. but yes, it was a silly move of theirs to essentially abandon the Oasis

I've see that business about the extra layer and the screen elsewhere. Does it really make such a big difference?
@@MoiAussi18I don't notice a difference. I have both
i wish they made a paperwhite with the ability to write in it. and page turn buttons!!
I don’t read books, so I would be more likely to go for the Scribe. Having said that, I don’t do note taking much either.
lmfao why are you here?
The comparison of the two, caught my attention, that’s why I’m viewing.
You actually don't read books?
well, that escalated quickly.:D maybe you should buy a steam deck or something.
@@fapstronaut3671 wow a really sane comparison of steam deck and kindle!
Hello, what was the website that you mentioned in the video to shop for non-expensive ebooks?
Do this Kindles have the same laggy software experience as the Paperwhite Kindle, or is it better when you read?
can I make a note on the book that i am reading on Scribe ?!
You said 7.8
Actually the small one is 6.8
Yes we know, it was a slip-up. We have covered thousands of e-readers over 14 years, we know the sizes :-)
@@goodereader I just thought - how big your hands. Then I checked the size
Thanks for your channel

I am using Kobo and never giving a cent to Amazon.
I switched back to Amazon because of the X-ray feature that's really cool when you have a lot of characters
Noone should buy an e-reader bigger than 6 inches.
