The quality of the light pipe, top screen surface etc creates more differences than the Carta HD (Kindle Voyage 2014, Kindle PW3 2015 and Kindle Oasis 1 2016) vs Carta 1200 or Carta 1300. The latest Kaleido 3 use Carta 1300 and are poorer contrast than Pearl and not much sharper than a 5" Pearl (without capacitive touch). Pearl is the eink between Vizplex and the first Carta version.

Other than screen size and CPU / Memory specs there is little change in eink compared to the best models 12 years ago.

The Kindle Voyage was November 2014, twelve and a half years ago. It's still better than than some current models, though only 6″ and less than 4G bytes of space for ebooks.

E Ink Carta HD features a 1080 by 1440 resolution on a 6" screen with 300 ppi. It is used in many eReaders including all new Kindle model lines since 2014 (Voyage, Oasis, Scribe) as well as the Paperwhite 3 (2015) and newer, Tolino Vision 2 (2014), Kobo Glo HD (2015),[50] Nook Glowlight Plus[51] (2015), Cybook Muse Frontlight, PocketBook Touch HD[52] (2016), PocketBook Touch HD 2 (2017), and the Kobo Clara HD[53] (2018).
