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.
Because of the Kaleido panel, when reading in mono, the screen is a lot darker then it would be without the Kaleido panel.
