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.
One interview I listen to the person said they Were NOT going to Add Water proofing cause it make the Kindle too heavy. So I don't see it ever happening.
