There has been hardly any improvement since Voyage or Paperwhite 3 over 11 years ago.

About 2013 was close to peak ereader.

The 10″+ ones have improved in resolution and added front light since then. Everything else is either cosmetic, a gimmick or marginal (notes with pen, wireless charging, bluetooth) and some aspects backwards (no SD card slots on Kobo, Scribe needing Amazon servers), removal of 3.5mm audio jack (but audio runtime is better on a decent phone, and with better experience/flexibility).

Storage and CPU has increased purely because those have increased and got cheaper anyway.
