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.
Perhaps the question is, with the amount of money Amazon may be willing to throw at E-Ink, will they be able to get ACeP on par with monochrome ereader speeds and display quality. That seems like a big ask, and do Amazon really care that much?

It seems way more likely that badereader are just making it all up.
