The new Kindle Scribe looks kinda lame compared to the new reMarkable Pro, though significantly cheaper. Maybe the colored ePaper isn't that great, but at least you get some color for highlighting, which is probably a non-insignificant use of these types of devices.

Either way, sad there's no Oasis refresh. I'm not super attached to the physical buttons, but I'd prefer it to not. Oh well.

I had exactly the other response when compared to my current scribe. I'm not sure they are trying to compete with remarkable on the design front, or that they should.

Remarkable, as a newer, smaller company, needs to seriously differentiate itself. Amazon can play it safer.

Having said that, I think the white bezel and introducing a professional looking colour to the Scribe, is so much better looking than my current Gen 1.

I normally wouldn't care, I didn't feel my scribe was ugly, until I saw the new one. I'm half considering passing mine to my mother, and buying the new version.

I agree, the new one looks snazzy. Though I have my og scribe in the composition notebook cover which is super slick and discrete.
