The Gallery 3 screen is a bit slow on mono and terrifically slow doing colour. It's a tech intended for Retail premises display panels.
The Kobo Sage is 8″ and 300 dpi. Unlike Scribe it's private (even registration can use a fake email). Unlike Scribe no server or special files needed. It's also got usable conversion to text, shapes, check boxes and formula from handwritten input.
The Kobo Elipsa is 10.3″ but at 227 dpi has slightly less pixels.
Also Kobo is best for management and notes via Calibre.
I've various Kindles, a reMarkable (same Wacom EMR as Scribe), Sage and Elipsa.
The Sage is better than the Elipsa for epub novels or Advanced notes due to lighter weight and smaller size. The 4.35.x Firmware has the best support yet for crop of margins of PDFs on both. I only use the Eliipsa for PDFs now and if you can read smaller print easily the Sage would be as good for PDFs.
The other privacy issue is the workflow on Scribe for full PDF annotation feature. The PDF has to be sent to Amazon. Even if the connection was totally secure can sensitive legal documents or patents in preparation be sent to Amazon? I can't imagine any serious lawyer allowing that. Amazon has give info to Police in USA without being served with a warrant.
There is no handwriting conversion on Scribe. The Kobo stylus is MS Surface compatible and the cheap battery lasts about 6 months of use (longer shelf life). I find the official Kobo pen and the "Adrawpen" model sold for MS Surface to be identical to use and nicer to write with than Wacom EMR on reMarkable.
The Kobo Advanced Notebook uses Nebo and exports to docx, text (converted text only) or html, also you can copy the Nebo files. Nebo is also on Mac, Windows, iOS (with Pencil) and Android (models with digitiser).
