I do not understand: what I wrote should be good news - you should not get logical resolution downscale anywhere, only physical constraints. I see that it seems that the display gets the "master to reproduce" in full resolution, so the only degradation comes out the actual tinted filter aspect - as expected.
Reflowable text and zoom are OS logic. The controller, it seems, translates whatever bitmap results from those into a display config, like a printer which does not know anymore what is vector or raster, but that the next dot should be green so it has to output some yellow and some cyan.
In this case - tests could be made - I think the controller reasons like "If input is red and here filter is red, then white otherwise black".
A few have mentioned a dramatic resolution loss: it is not there, because the controller reasons (it appears by looking at what is available) at subpixel level ("subpixel" here just meaning that theoretically, and pretty much only theoretically, an EPD dot is one ninth of a virtual "any colour" pixel - but this is ininfluential because the system works at """subpixel""" precision). Then, expect all black vector to remain pretty much faithful, and colour vector to be inhevitably - but not 100dpi - jagged, and colour raster to be similarly "bound to the medium". Check the photos and comparisons.
