The subject article mentions that 500 and 600 ppi is what e-ink display manufacturers are making, I remember reading the following in 2017:

E-reader manufacturers will have to use the parts they can get a hold of, won't they? Have you seen any mention of screens with pixel densities between 300 and 500 ppi? I haven't been following e-reader hardware progress diligently, so I couldn't say myself.
As for pixel densities never doubling in one fell swoop, that seems to be true for e-readers, but didn't Apple do just that when they introduced retina displays for the iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pros?
With all that said, I don't expect the jump to 600 ppi to happen soon, but I personally had been thinking, for the reasons given above, that this will be the next jump: directly from 300 to 600 ppi.
Your post bursts my bubble somewhat, but I think 300 ppi is plenty for me anyway
