Kaleido "color" eink is actually old tech, and mis-sold. It can never be as good as mono eink for mono and can only be slightly improved by having smaller or more translucent dots (makes it more pastel). Inherently poorer contrast and mono is only artefact free if at 150 dpi, unless they make a 600 dpi panel. I use reading glasses to read, so it no way matches 300 dpi Carta HD, never mind Carta 1200.

Also I only use a front light if the ambient light is too poor, which is rarely. I now have three Nxtpaper based "gadgets" and even the 14″ one is cheaper than a smaller Color Boox comparable to size of the Sage. They are fine for battery life, colour and glare.
