DX -> DXG -> PaperWhite 2 -> Scribe. Just get whiter and more contrast. All have Black, nearly white and 14 greys. Four bits.
Early eInk had 2 bits rather than 16, so: nearly black, dark grey, mid grey and pale grey.
16 bits on old PCs allowed 32000 to 64000 colours, so-called Hi-Color.
Coloured eink, except Gallery AECP, uses a coloured filter on top, so does technically 4096 variations including 16 levels of greyscale.
The Scribe can't display really differently to a Paperwhite 3, just bigger.
