In theory, the DES Slurry display could give 600DPI in B&W and 300DPI in colour though the only implementations I'm aware of (Reinkstone R1 and the TopJoy Butterfly) have shown display issues and suffer from software issues (atrocious ghosting and page turns that make an eInk Pearl screen seem speedy are a couple of issues mentioned).

I would be absolutely stoked if B&N brought DES Slurry to the mainstream. I know there are issues with ghosting but the display quality blows away Kaleido. There are software fixes to address the issues which Reinkstone has slowly been rolling out.

But embracing any kind of color tech would make me respect B&N again. It’s about time they stopped resting on their laurels and took some risks.
