Any gains from more efficient electronics might be traded off with smaller, lighter battery packs. We might not see any battery life gains at the product level.
As for a newer eink generation, Carta is only now starting to filter down to the third tier vendors and with declining sales volumes there is no telling how much R&D eInk might be willing to devote to ereaders instead of alternate markets. I wouldn't hold my breath for a newer screen tech from eink this year. I think the 300 dpi Carta is tops for this year.
