Kindle Scribe Colorsoft vs iPad + Paperwhite: cheaper combo wins

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechRadar ·

TechRadar tested the $400 Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and found it inferior to pairing a $110 Kindle Paperwhite with an $349 11-inch iPad. The iPad offers a superior color screen and more functionality for less total cost. The Scribe's high price and limited utility make it a poor value proposition.

Meridian48 take
