That's such a tough question, given that the Go 7 offers so much more functionality aside from it's performance as a display unit for the Kindle Reader app... The situation is further clouded by the existence of the Kobo Libra Colour, which undercuts both devices on price, also offers page-turn buttons, and has the extra-cost option of light note-taking and book annotation with a pen that slots very securely into Kobo's matching hard case...
No ghosting on these small colour screens, but there are resolution issues on existing Amazon hardware, at least in the Kindle App. I grabbed Watchmen 2019 from Kindle Unlimited to see how my devices compared, and my Scribe SUCKED. Boox Go 10.3, Scribe, 11” M1 iPad Pro, and a 13” Asus convertible laptop with a 1920 x 1080 OLED touch display. Kindle app on all 4 devices. Note that the Go and Scribe are both 300 dpi. So why were the artwork and text balloons MUCH crisper on the Go than the Scribe?
To be clear, I’m not shocked that the PC’s rendering was the worst and the iPad’s the best. But why is the Go so much better than the Scribe in an Amazon-sourced graphic novel??? The Scribe is fine when viewing text in menus, or handwriting in each devices’ note app…
Is it just that the actual image is lower than the resolution of the scribe screen? So it looks sharp when down to the 7" size, but pixelated when up to the 10.2" size? I'll try it out later and see.
@@KitBetts-MastersI should have clarified. I was talking about my own hardware and the naked eye, not your footage. If you have a Scribe & Go 10.3 handy, check it for yourself. I first noticed it in Guided mode, first frame of page 18, “NOBODY RETIRED ME”… Screen sizes in my case were 10.2”, 10.3”, 11”, and 13.3… Also, we’re talking the same source file, shared out to all 4 devices by Amazons servers & the Sync function. The PC is somewhat to blame, because of the low display resolution, but the Go and Scribe are supposedly identical 300dpi, and only a tenth of an inch difference in the render- in the scribe’s favour! Unless Apple and Boox are applying very specific image sharpening to make the Kindle app look better, it’s got to be a difference in Amazon’s app coding between the in-house, Android, PC and IOS versions?
Interesting. I just hauled out my 11th-gen Paperwhite Signature, and it’s nice and crisp. Looking more closely at my scribe, the problem looks more like an out of focus photo, than a resolution issue. It’s soft and fuzzy, not pixelated. I shall be curious to see if others can reproduce the problem.
@@steverolfecareading all your comments could it be that the go. 10.3 is sharper because it has less layers (no front light layer) compared to the scribe as that is the benefit with less layers the ink is closer to the page and appears more paperlike.
