I am not an expert, however, following the E-ink timeline for the past 9 years ... has me thinking/guessing that it would not be until at-least 2025 that technology would get to 300DPI color @ 14"+
Color has been teased for the past 5 years w/o any significant product release until this year.
If we, for the fun of it, follow Moore's Law that technology increases 2x every 2 years, then we'll have to wait several years for 200DPI, let alone 300DPI. In addition, if the screen size needs to go from 6" to 14", that equates to a screen area of ~36 (i.e. 6^2) to ~196 (i.e. 14^2) ... a 5-fold increase in size. These tech advances are not likely to happen anytime soon!
