Sorry to disappoint you, but MAX Carta was an accident. E-Ink suddenly started to use its limited production line to produce 13.3 inch Carta screens, discontuing the Pearl ones. I guess that was the moment when the restrictions from the Sony contract have lapsed. Therefore Onyx was forced to issue Max Carta on short notice. This explains why Max and Max Carta are identical, except the resolution.Not that they worked hard to bring a new Model. So the true span of time between the models is May 2016 - end of December 2017, that is 1,5 years. The lesson is, the onyx policy does not favour small improvements in a rapid salve of devices, but significant improvements over longer periods of time. If you're believe a new Max is on the way this year, you'll suffer a terrible disappointment.
