Update, 2:43PM: We've added additional info about pricing for the Premium Pen and the higher storage capacities, as well as details about the screen's front light.

The Scribe looks like a blown-up version of the Kindle Oasis, with a large bezel on one side to make it easier to hold one-handed without touching the screen, though it lacks the Oasis' physical page-turn buttons.

Like other modern Kindles, the Scribe boasts a 300 PPI pixel density to make text and handwriting look sharp, and a whopping 35 LEDs will keep the device's frontlight looking smooth and even (up from 25 LEDs in the Oasis, 17 LEDs in the Paperwhite, and just four LEDs in the basic Kindle).

Another $20 or $50 on top of that will get you 32GB or 64GB storage, respectively—you can buy the 16GB version of the tablet with the Premium Pen, but you have to buy the Premium Pen to get the higher storage capacities.

A fully loaded version of the tablet with 64GB of storage and the Premium Pen costs $420, plus the cost of a case if you buy one.

But the ReMarkable plus a Marker costs more than the Scribe does ($378 new or $358 refurbished), its 226 PPI screen isn't quite as sharp as the Scribe's, and most crucially, it lacks access to the Kindle bookstore and other Amazon services.
