I can't imagine Amazon is as stupid as that. ACeP (Gallery 3) is a shop poster technology, it's x10 slower than regular eink, which is only just fast enough for an ereader. It's maybe 5000x slower than the best LCD/OLED and equivalent to 1980s / 1990s basic High Colour VGA (only about 32,000 shades/hues). Certainly excellent compared to Triton or Kaleido filters on mono eink for electronic posters, which are too dark, or too pastel and too limited in colour gamut. Maybe mono ink A5 posters and Black + Red price labels is now E Ink Corp biggest market, not ereaders.
