Possibly subpixel addressing for text.
It needs the front light except in very bright conditions


The later colour eInk panels can't do sensible subpixel text

So though Kaleido 3 might claim 300 dpi mono, it's really 150 dpi both directions, all the time.

The kaleido 3 might be better for comics, but the older screen might be better for text, but only if it has subpixel addressing (like cleartype) and thus really only one axis as subpixel addressing is more effective on text across the vertical stripes than along horizontal stripes.

Otherwise the panel on Inkpad Color 2 and Onyx mini C are going to have the similar range of about 4000 pastel shades.
