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.

Both the Scribe and the current gen PW(5) have the same 300ppi resolution. This is higher than the PW4, but I do not own one and cannot speak to how it looks. However there are a couple of factors to keep in mind. 1. The Scribe has a much bigger screen, so that 300ppi should look slightly less sharp than the 300ppi on the PW5 (after all, the same image is being stretched over a broader area. This is the same reason that a smaller computer monitor looks sharper than a larger one with the same resolution 2. The Scribe has a slightly more textured screen (creating the more paper-like texture for the pen to move across) also very slightly reduces clarity. Personally, I find the difference to be quite subtle, but if I am brutally honest, the text on my Oasis 3 looks slightly sharper than on the Scribe (I only notice this if I put them side by side).
