Kindle Paperwhite
Kindle Paperwhite's screen has 25% higher contrast. Crisp, dark text against a brilliant white background makes for the perfect read. Paperwhite guides light towards the display from above instead of projecting it out at your eyes like back-lit displays, thereby reducing screen fatigue. You can adjust your screen's brightness to create a perfect reading experience in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to bedtime reading.

Kindle Scribe
Kindle Scribe is the first Kindle for reading and writing, with a 10.2” 300 ppi Paperwhite display, includes Basic Pen. Take notes within millions of titles in the Kindle Store – Handwrite thoughts on sticky notes in your favorite book with the included Basic Pen. Notes are automatically organized by book in one place, so you can browse, review, and export them via email.
The Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Scribe are two delightful contraptions from Amazon that serve the noble purpose of preventing you from lugging around actual books—because who has the wrist strength for *that*? The Paperwhite, with its gloriously crisp e-ink display, is perfect for pretending you're reading something intellectual on a sunlit beach, while secretly devouring a sci-fi thriller. Meanwhile, the Kindle Scribe promises an even more immersive experience, possibly involving pixel densities so high they could be mistaken for tiny existential crises.

Then there’s the design: the Paperwhite, featherlight and waterproof, is practically shouting, “Take me to the bathtub!” (though probably in a polite British accent). On the other hand Kindle Scribe seems to have aspirations beyond mere reading. With its stylus support, it’s ready to take notes, highlight passages or perhaps doodle a quick sketch of a spaceship—because who doesn’t need that mid-chapter?

And finally, the great cosmic riddle of pricing and features. The Paperwhite sits comfortably in the mid-range zone, offering just enough bells and whistles to keep your inner librarian happy. But the Scribe? Oh it’s eyeing the premium pedestal, boasting larger storage, quicker page turns and the promise of accessories that could make it indispensable for academics, professionals or anyone with an insatiable need to write, annotate or otherwise pretend to be productive. Whether you’re a casual reader or a literary adventurer, one of these devices is bound to call your name assuming it can find its way through the endless maze of Amazon’s product pages.
