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).
PPI stands for pixels per inch. The Scribe has a higher resolution and therefore the same quality/sharpness as the PW5. The image is not being "stretched".
