It also cheats authors, the majority of whom don't make a living wage. Only about 0.1% of authors make big money. |

That many of the ebooks from file sharing sites also have errors that would prevent Amazon from processing them without you having to learn how to edit ebooks to correct those errors can also be a consideration. |

So I bought the Kindle scribe today and I've tried it for a few hours now but in comparison to my iPad A4 it doesn't seem to be much of an improvement, please see photo comparing The two
The Kindle scribe is 0% backlight and is about 15% I want to limit as much brightness as possible to prevent ice strain The problem with the Kindle is that it's holds a lot less on the screen which means I'm turning the page more often, which is an easy for me by Dexter problems Also, with the Kindle when I go from zero points to 8 points in brightness theris zero difference so I question how accurate I have two weeks to return the Kindle if it is unsuitable I thought the Kindle scribe would be easier on my eyes, with no backlight needed but this case with any reader these days I remember having a Kindle keyboard in 2010 which didn't have a back light or need one in most situations |

Perhaps you could re-do the image with both devices in dark mode?
The Kindle Scribe like any eInk device does not and can not have a backlight since the display is opaque. What they do have is a frontlight with a diffusing layer over the eInk screen to—hopefully—spread the light evenly over the display. From some research papers, the reflected light from the eInk screen is less irritating that looking through the LCD screen at the frontlight. That seems to end up being a matter of personal taste so you will need to decide for yourself. I've attached your image to this message but I reduced the file size to just below the 1.5MB maximum for a jpg file. |
