Our comparison of the Kaleido 3 displays was was about a month back on 2025-Nov-15. Both devices were on their latest firmware revision (4.44.23552 and 5.18.6). We tried our best to match the frontlight brightness level. For testing, we used a couple of books intended for children since they was mostly colour illustrations and a homebrewed ebook with colour images. We also compared the books on my iPad Pro in the Kindle app, the Kobo app and the Pocketbook app.
As I said, we were able to make the two eInk device displays look very close by playing with the display settings on the KLC. While both looked pretty good by themselves, the iPad Pro looked far better with any of the apps.
Both of us ended up preferring the KLC's default display setting since we agreed that setting had the best highlight and shadow detail but his grandkids preferred the Colorsoft's display with it's brighter colours.
For the Gallery 3 display, we used a Remarkable Pro that Chris was able to borrow from work. It was on whatever version it's automatic software update installed. It's 65K colours was a definite improvement over the Kaleido 3's 4K colours but the display refresh for best colour was very noticeably slow.
