Have there been any significant improvements made, since the invention of it?
I started out with a PRS 505, then had a Jetbook nano, Jetbook color, Amazon Kindle, Amazon Paperwhite, and a 2017 or 2018 Amazon Oasis.
The Oasis was my last device.

Since then, aside from perhaps whiter whites, and blacker blacks, and perhaps e-ink screens allowing for red text,
Have there been any significant changes in the past few years?
Like, larger screens, lower prices,???
6", 6.8", 7", 7.8", 8", 10.3", 13.3" re all screen sizes that I know of that are available.

The new thing is the Kaleido HD color screen being used by Pocketbook and soon Onyx. It allows 300DPI black/grey and 100DPI 4096 colors.
