E Ink Corp has a near monopoly. This kind of panel is nearly 4 years old. There are far better colour solutions, but the majority of tablets have rubbish screen surfaces to save money and too small batteries to save money, so there is a tiny niche.
The people that want Kaleido have not seen the better alternatives and are a subset of those that want eink. It would be a much smaller group if Kaleido was honestly advertised. It's weaselly advertised.
