Unless you want coloured artefacts on the mono text and line illustrations, the mono has to be at best 150 dpi, because it's a 300 dpi mono screen (at best, some are less) with a 2 x 2 pattern of coloured dots.
So I read mono text on my mono eink models (currently 5" to 8") and Coloured content, or PDFs that don't work on 8", on Nxtpaper 11 or Nxtpaper 14.
If you are using the front light on eink, then the Nxtpaper 40 phone, Nxtpaper 11 and Nxtpaper 14 are practically as good. The Sage is only better in sufficient ambient light to have no front light.
I can't remember reading any actual novels that had any colour. Any that have illustrations are mono, and majority only B&W, no greys/half tones.

No. Colour is 150 ppi. B&W is 300 ppi. You don't see colored artifacts with black and white text. The same number of eink cells are filled for a given letter and font size on a B&W eInk screen of the same size and resolution as a colour one. That's why they all claim 300 ppi B&W. It's really obvious if you compare B&W text with coloured text. The B&W text is noticeably sharper than the coloured text.
