To compare the e-ink screens I find that the surrounding frame and the size may affect our perception. So I have a small experiment, take a printer paper (A4/letter, white) and cut a hole in the centre about 5 cm in diameter. Prepare the same number of paper pieces per e-reader and then compare the e-ink screens with their lights completely turned off and observe in natural light side by side. I also do the same experiment with different light sources.
I thought that the Kindle paperwhite seemed whiter before this experiment and after doing this test I could barely see the difference. I don't have a Note pro or note, but I did have Nova Pro which I returned as I don't like front light on my e-reader. I have Onyx Max 2 Pro and I like the slight yellow/cream background compared to the white Kindle Paperwhite (front light).
