Men, what did you do...
This thread wasn't to speak about NXTpaper 🙄 Now this is a mess...

It is not likely to be available as in-between sizes either, as 13.3" and 25.3" are what their factories are already producing for TFT layers.

So that's the reason because we can't find any 17" screens. Dissappointing, but at least an answer

OTOH, Linfiny (the people who actually manufacture the Quaderno devices for Fujitsu) still show a 13.3" Kaleido 3 device with a target MP of April 2024. The attached image looks like the pastel effect of a Kaleido 3 screen. |
Here is the Fujitsu (
https://goodereader.com/blog/product...-ink-kaleido-3 ), but it has only 80 colored ppi. Certainly not good. Let's see the Linfiny... But without an android it doesn't fitts me.
For what is waiting Onyx? I imagine soon they will release a 13" color display

I have a Onyx Boox Lumi and don't remember seeing any issue with the light's homogeny You will make me take a closer look the next time I use it.
I have great hopes for Gallery. It is still slow, but is getting faster and faster. If the 4000 colors of Kaleido 3 are almost very good (at least in the Onyx devices), how it will be with the 50.000-60.000 of the gallery? For me it would be enough for sure.
