I have tried a mobiscribe wave and most recently just received a pocketbook inkpad 4.
Have returned the mobiscribe due to lacking contrast and clarity. The same can be said for the new inkpad unfortunately. Despite the new 1200 Carta screen, I felt that text clarity and contrast were lacking in ambient light compared to an old PW4 I have in the drawer. I am not quite sure why display quality is not the main focus for manufacturers.
I'm returning the inkpad 4 as well. Looking at this forum, the PW4 doesn't seem like the best screen either which is odd given that it beats both of the aforementioned newer devices.

What else would you suggest? My main use setting would be in ambient light really. I don't like using a frontlight. Interested in e-pub reading, reading mangas and occasionally academic reading. This is why I have been trying the (almost) 8 inch devices. Thank you.

I've been thinking about ordering a sage or a scribe to test. There is nothing else left is there with the bigger screen? How do these 2 compare to a kindle PW4 for example in terms of contrast and clarity in ambient light?
