My initial impulse was to say that the Carta screens with 300 DPI are good enough and that's why progress has slowed. But then, I suppose I would have said the same thing when the Pearl was the best screen.
I guess the real problem is that eInk screens are a niche product. They just don't have the funds and competition required for faster R&D It would be nice to have darker text displayed on the screen.

Where are the large eInk readers with pen input and worklow? Where is color? Yeah, yeah...yet another one is "real close" and just showed something "promising" that they never said would make it into a tablet ereader.

I don't understand the appeal of those type of devices. It just seems that a Surface or iPad fills those needs so much better than an eInk device.

There are no more independant eInk devices to speak of. Surely not of the quality of the Sony line. Pretty much "eco system" plays like Amazon, Kobo and Nook are all that's left. And only Amazon has a healthy business.

Wasn't Sony just as much an ecosystem as Kindle, Kobo and Nook? Wasn't Calibre initially developed as an easy way to sideload books onto Sony readers?

People are going blind because they are reading on tablets and phones which shoot light DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EYE. eInk, where light must first bounce before finding your eye, isn't being embraced by everyone the way SCIENCE tells us it SHOULD.
