Rubbish. Kaleido is a downgraded bicycle. Adds poor colour and degrades the monochrome (Black & white) disastrously. OTOH colour doesn't make LCD any worse, only better.
ACeP is hugely better electronic paper color, but's not traditional eink and is ten times slower than regular eink, which is 100 times slower than LCD/OLED/CRT. It's still poor colour compared to LCD or QLED or OLED with a matt face plate.
Unless there is a new technology, there is no future for color eink. It's a gimmick and not even new. Over 3 years old in actual retail products. It's really only of value for comics and similar on 10″ or larger screens. Abysmal for either regular novels or real illustrated books.
Also read about what the original Luddites were about. They were against greed, not technology.
