That said, the difference is unlikely to be a deal-breaker for legibility when reading and scrawling.īoth panels are designed to mimic the look and feel of paper. In theory, it should mean that the Amazon Kindle Scribe is able to render text and edges more crisply than the Remarkable 2. How significant this factor feels in practice will be something we test in our full side-by-side review of the two E Ink tablets. While it’s a tiny bit bigger, the resolution comes in at a less sharp 226ppi. The Remarkable 2 features a 10.3in panel. Amazon hasn’t published the exact resolution, but it works out at a decent 300ppi. The Kindle Scribe’s screen measures in at 10.2in.

Headlining both shows are those E Ink displays. The Kindle Scribe is weightier at 433g, undercut by the 404g Remarkable 2. On the scales, there’s a little more in it. Each slate is slender as well: 5.8mm for the Kindle and 4.7mm for the Remarkable 2, which make each e-reader slimmer than any contemporary smartphone. The Kindle Scribe is the taller of the two by 9mm, while the Remarkable 2 is wider by 17mm. Physically, both devices are approximately the size of an A4 sheet of paper. Which looks better will be down to the eye of the beholder. In contrast, the Remarkable 2 has a white surround with a silver-accented grip strip, and a thicker bottom bezel. The all-black Kindle Scribe features tidy, uniform bezels on three edges.

But there are also visual differences which set the two slates apart. Notable bezels frame the displays, with a larger strip on the left to allow for easier holding. Both are styled like tablets and fronted by greyscale E Ink screens. The Amazon Kindle Scribe and Remarkable 2 follow a very similar design formula. Amazon Kindle Scribe vs Remarkable 2: tech specs
