Which firmware? Same refresh settings?
Reading regular ebooks, or PDFs or scribbling?
That sounds unlikely about battery life unless Scribe has a much larger battery or much slower CPU.
The Scribe's EMR Wacom is powered from the Scribe. The Elipsa stylus/pen uses an AAAA cell and I've not had to replace it.
Elipsa seems better battery life than the Sage, which while poorer than Libra or PW3 is OK.
I'd be surprised if any much difference in screen. You have to set Original Aura HD H2O, PW3, PW4, Libra, Sage. Oasis , Mars 7.8" and Elipsa side by side in ambient light only to see that:
H2O is best. Likely because no capacitive touch, despite lower resolution.
PW4 slightly the worst.
Not much difference between the rest.
You'd only notice poorer resolution on original H2O & Elipsa on small print or fonts not designed for lower resolution PC/Laptops. Georgia and similar originally MS fonts were for less than 120 dpi. The old ereaders and up to prior Basic are 150 or 167 dpi except for 5" models, and most 10" approx are 227, only Scribe is 300 dpi above 8" size eink.
There does seem to be slight manufacturer variation in screen contrast without front light.
