I will note, but probably will not notice. I assume it is the same number of pixels, just spread out a bit?

Also apparently the new Basic is a little faster and has more or brighter LEDs. But then why is it stuck in the 11th generation?

what do you all mean by eliminating the gap on scribe? the distance from actual panel and flush "screen" there is? are we sure this is the case? cause looking at different vids and pics, it really just look like the bezel is exactly the same, just with different colors. I might be wrong, vut even that black/green part it actually looks like at the same level of the white margin next to it, so it seems like nothing else than an illusion.

You won't notice the difference between a 6.8" screen and a 7" screen.

The original Scribe has a narrow gap between the front 'glass' (not very deep but you can slide a piece of paper into it) and the frame around the four sides. It looks like a design defect and I'm sure some people returned their Scribe after noticing it ('it will allow dirt or dust or liquid to get inside' etc -- but AFAICT it does not offer ingress to the internal electronics and it is not difficult to dislodge the occasional dust particles). My guess is they were planning a waterproof model and that gap was to accommodate some sort of gasket or filler material but they ran into issues with assembling the design.

My assumption is there is no longer such a gap with the new design, but I have yet to see any confirmation.

Oh now i get it, yeah it doesn't bother me but i noticed at first too on my scribe... I thought it was about the distance from the actual eink , that i feel is a little too much but i guess it's only natural between all the layers for touchscreen and pen writing

...
Since the specs say 300DPI, there must be more pixels?

I just read an article that confirms it will. "Active Canvas will also be made available as an update to existing users of the original Kindle Scribe, Amazon says."

Let's hope this is accurate.

The green scribe I want but too much $$. I may wait till a color version is out in a few years. To me 7" is too small for a color ereader.

Me too. I do not see a need to upgrade to a new scribe if it's not going to also be a color device.

Given that it's actually the same gen with same internal and just a slightly diff bezel, it only makes sense is how they're saying, luckily.

The speed may just be that the screen is updated to Carta 1300 (and new LEDs), but the rest of the electronics are the same. If they didn't change anything else then it's not a full new device, just a revision.

Not quite right. The pixel density is the same at 300 ppi so you get a few more pixels on the screen. The 6.8" display gives you 1236×1648 pixels while the 7" display gives you 1264×1680 so 28 pixels wider and 32 pixels taller. Oh, be still my heart!

Yeah, but that comes out to 896 more pixels. If the price is the same, that is a bargain when you throw in the extra brightness.

Is there a page that compares/contrasts the original Scribe with the "new and improved" Scribe? I've got the original and wonder if there's any reason I need the new one. I only read on it.
