Comparison · researched Sep 7, 2026
Three overlapping products, one evidence model. The table below separates what the source set verifies from ICU's scenario-specific editorial judgments and from facts that remain unresolved.
There is no universal winner in this comparison.
Verified facts come from the dated O015 product source set. Editorial fit scores are ICU synthesis, not hands-on testing. Calculated values appear only where the formula and visitor inputs are visible. Unknowns are not converted into zeros.

Strong reading-plus-writing overlap for people already committed to Kindle.
Price ranking is intentionally unavailable. ICU did not cache a comparable current all-in price for all three products. Waterproofing, repairability/battery replacement and one comparable battery-endurance number are also unresolved in this source set.
