Is there a website that compares the various eInk screens? (startrek.website)

My Kindle Oasis 2017 seems to have broken. I love that it's screen (Seems to be just plain old "Carta" with no numbers) does not need the backlight on to be readable in even pretty dim lighting.

I recently tried a Kobo and couldn't believe how grey the screen was and needed the backlight in all conditions other than daylight.

I would just like to see a comparison between all the screens (Carta 1200, Colorsoft, etc) to try and know how it compares to my old Oasis without having to purchase and return it.

Anyone know of a good comparison site like what I'm describing?

This may be really unpopular but when I don’t easily find a comparison resource for this kinda stuff I ask an AI to precisely compare things like resolution and features of various e reader screens (Gemini searches Google and doesn’t hallucinate as bad as ChatGPT)

I'm not really looking for specs I'm looking to visually compare.
