I'm trying to get a new device but having had both mobiscribe wave and newest inkpad 4, I have been disappointed with clarity/sharpness and contrast compared to my PW4. I would keep my PW4 but I do need a larger device.

On my PW4, it seems that text would pop out and is sharper despite being an older generation eink Carta screen (not the newest Carta 1200). I'm starting to believe device manufacturing and layers matter more than Carta 1200 looking at how older devices are doing very well.

In any case, has anybody compared the Scribe to their older PW device? How does the screen fare?
I'm also interested in the sage. Has anybody compared that to a PW?

I just want to add that I don't feel like I'm being picky. There is really a significant difference in eye comfort when I compared the previously listed devices with my old PW4, which I did not expect.

Thanks.
