I'd like to see both as well.
Waterproofing shouldn't prove too difficult, but I'm not sure if they can offer a flexible substrate yet. Last I'd seen eInk was only making Mobius screens available in 13.3" for the big Sony device (& now the new Onyx & Netronix ones) and in a small sub 2" size for smart watches and stuff. Until eInk gets their Mobius screen manufacturing to where they're offering 6" screens in that format (& in quantity) it would seem we're stuck with Carta screens. Unless Amazon starts developing their own screens in a tech similar to eInk or moves to a different screen tech I think 300ppi Carta is the best available right now.
