So 300 dpi might have less contrast, but it might be good enough. It might be worth it to trade some contrast for resolution. It will be very interesting to see. 200 to 300 is a much bigger step than 167 to 200.

I would prefer an improved contrast. I think that in the video mister E-ink exagerates when he claims that Pearl is better than the average paperback, and that Vizplex is better than a newspaper. I noted that he does not promise hardback quality in the future.
Charbax is too tender when faced with marketing talk. A real journalist would try to be critical once in a while to maintain some credibility. Instead, he is perpetually as enthusiastic and fanatic as a child in Disneyland, whatever the product.
Anyway, the bad news is that E-ink faces the same physics limitation as the manufacturers of camera sensors.
