The real resolution for Kaleido 3 is 150 dpi for colour (if it's based on a 300 dpi panel), and the illusion of better with high contrast monochrome, because the 300 dpi of the panel is lost forever when you have a colour filter pattern on it.
Similarly you can't call a colour LCD by the mono resolution of the LCD without the filter.
It's misleading marketing to claim Kaleido 3 panels have the resolution of the original mono eink.
Yes, the mono text can use sub-pixel addressing, but that does not make it back into a 300 dpi panel for monochrome.
