It's not their tech. It's pre-eink tech. You get what you pay for. They don't make the glass.

In theory making glass matt with acid rather than coarse abrasion (no good for screens) might date back to 1771!

I've used Hydrofluoric acid to clean silicon wafers, but having a controlled micro-etch on glass much finer than the 300 dpi screen isn't simple. I've seen uncontrolled glass etching. Don't ask
