Why?
A 300 dpi mono only screen is going to inherently have better B&W text than a similar screen with a translucent coloured dot on each pixel. Basic physics and mathematics. Certainly Kaleido is a better idea than Triton, but you can't still have the same mono quality. The coloured dots are a passive printed layer between the light pipe for the front light and the active screen. They reduce sharpness, brightness and contrast compared to not having them.
