For anyone that doesn't know, the grayscale Scribe screen is 300 PPI. Zooming clearly shows anti-aliasing in both the reading font ond the UI font. I have no idea what happens with custom fonts.
The whole point of anti-aliasing is to be invisible or at least less obnoxious than the pixelization when it is missing.

Thanks for this information. This leads me to wonder if my 2014 Kindle Basic 7th generation, which I can tolerate, uses anti-aliasing. There is a question about operating system/updates as well, since this Kindle has never been updated, whereas the same model which I previously had was updated in 2022 and was then rendered unusable to me.
