I came across this article when I was checking for potential announcement of new e-reader models from Kobo.

Is it really the end of the e-Ink Carta screens? Because if so, I feel like the need to panic buy existing BW models as there is no way I can accept any Kaleido 3 models as of the moment. I am so pissed that manufacturers are forcing us to get color when a lot of customers don't need one. If they continue in this path and the color screens don't improve, I might as well just go back to tablet reading. I will abandon the e-reader devices altogether.
