I’m also personally far more interested in black and white, but colour e-ink certainly has its uses - comics, technical textbooks / PDFs with colour graphs, even e.g. things like art history textbooks with illustrations that aren’t meant to be colour-accurate but just there for reference, and since it sometimes feels like new e-ink adopters are more keen on colour, having advancements made in that sphere isn’t a bad thing.
Found this (AI-translated) longer and more technical overview of the announcement / presentation, which has more detail, in case anyone is interested:

Sounds like this was developed with Hanvon in mind as the first adopter, so I guess it’ll take some time until the tech reaches other brands.
It’s interesting that Amazon opted to release their new Kindle Colorsoft now, still with “old” Kaleido 3 tech (even if Amazon says they’ve made their own improvements), instead of waiting, say, six months. But I guess they have their own internal release schedules and calculations made.
