Score: 79/100Rankings
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft 64GB is an 11-inch color E Ink tablet featuring a high-resolution B&W display, a premium no-charge pen, and up to eight weeks of reading battery life. Trade-offs include a higher price, lower color resolution, and thin bezels that may be accidentally touched. Best for users who need a large color e-paper canvas for annotation and cloud-synced note-taking.
The Viwoods AiPaper is a 10.65-inch ultra-thin E Ink tablet that offers a 300 PPI display, Android 13, and a 960 Hz stylus for responsive note-taking. Its chassis is less rigid, and the device can feel heavy for prolonged handheld use. It is ideal for mobile professionals and students who value portability and a full Android app ecosystem.

Professional reviewers hail the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft as the "Cadillac of Kindles," emphasizing its large 11-inch color e-paper, fluid pen experience, and upgraded size over the 2024 model. Tom's Guide and TechRadar both commend the lightweight, thin build and long battery life, while noting the premium price and thin-bezel smudging risk as the primary trade-offs.
Early consumer feedback is limited but positive; a BestBuy reviewer praised the glare-free display, built-in notebook, and AI tools, with no major complaints beyond the expert-noted smudging risk.
“glare-free display, notebook, and AI tools”
“"Brilliant" after software updates (best e-ink owned)”
Professional reviewers commend the Viwoods AiPaper for its razor-thin 4.5 mm chassis, lightweight feel, high-resolution 300 PPI Carta screen, long-lasting 4100 mAh battery, and the flexibility of a full Android 13 environment with Play Store access, while noting the stylus latency of 960 Hz as a standout. However, they point out that the build lacks the solid rigidity of rivals, the thickness can vary slightly at the edges, and software updates are large and sometimes cumbersome.
Everyday users praise the device as "brilliant" after software updates, highlighting its sharp visuals, durable metal back, ample storage and the convenience of Android app and cloud integration, while recurring complaints focus on its relatively heavy feel, long update times on slower Wi-Fi, and a perceived lack of sturdiness compared with other e-ink tablets.
