Sorry, but I was as baffled as @HarryT. The link you gave before, and I quoted again, was to another article on GoodEreader. To be honest, the article that this thread is about, just feels like a replay of the of the one you linked to. So, using the first article as support for the second, doesn't seem right. Plus, the date on it is September 2018, not 2017 as you stated. That also makes me question things.
Did you mean to post this link in your first post? If so, that would explain our confusion.

That link also feels like it might be the only source of information that GoodEReader are using. It is where the images came from. If so, it doesn't inspire confidence if in them as it took 14 months to comment, and they feel the need to repeat themselves only four months later. And in both just feel like a repeat of that press release. But, in this case, maybe we are being a bit harsh. The articles are just speculation on a possibility. That press release does support the existence of e-ink screens at these resolutions. And if they exist, someone will eventually use them. The questions are really when, how much they will cost, and how much better they will actually be over the current screens and devices.
