Nor can colour eink. It maybe doesn't look as bad because the subpixels are pastel.
You keep contradicting yourself.
But MS Cleartype and others do run the LCD or OLED at native higher reolution if feasible. Basically actually having a higher resolution screen and not doing that is better (the Anti-Rainbow setting on eink or Cleartype – or equivalent – off ).
I'm glad you like the Kaleido, but it doesn't avoid basic physics and the fact you sometimes see artefacts should prove I'm not making it up. It may look sharper than a Kindle DXG's 150 dpi, but it demonstrably is a lie to claim it's the same sharpness and quality as mono 300 dpi eink, apart from the fact in ordinary ambient light good enough for a Kindle K3 or Kindle DXG (or any pre-Carta screen based on Pearl with no touch or light pipelayers), it's unreadible due to being too dark and poorer contrast. I've seen Colour eink in person, not just online photos.
I'm happy for there to be choice, but the Colour Libra is certainly not a replacement for the Libra or Libra 2, only an alternative that's massively inferior if mono is enough. It's only a better alternative if you need colour and are happy to use a front light and insist on eink.
