I read black and white novels, and want as good a quality as possible. Kaleido doesn't deliver it.

Even at the same brightness it can't ever be as sharp as mono eink, unless they produce 600 dpi panels. But those panels are inherently mono, so a new mono eink would still be better.
We don't mind people buying Kaleido. We just don't want the sharper and brighter and better contrast mono taken away, as Kobo has done with the 7″ Libra 2. The alternative isn't a Libra Colour, but a 6″ Clara BW or an 8″ Sage. The 8″ fits few pockets.
