Kaleido is a nearly 5 year old "technology" (simply translucent coloured dots on 2 x 2 eink cell surface that don't cover the pixel).
It's not a major innovation, nor is it going to be getting better. It's more appropriate than the older Triton which was simply a copy of the stripes on a mono LCD. All LCDs are also mono, but have 250 to 1000 grey levels vs 14 with black and white for eink and can turn up the rear light to compensate.
QLED is actually mono LCD with a blue back light and green or red dots that change blue light, so only needs 1/6th of power. That can't easily work for eink.
So even Kaleido a few years ago is nearly as good as is possible.
