I've been watching about, as I still know nothing, as it's still a thing new to me: while having watched the Gallery 3 specs, which it's on the ReMarkable Paper Pro (which yes, it's expensive), what's to note is also that it looks having super vibrant colors, but I guess it's fine untill reading in daylight: within its lights on (at least on videos) it doesn't seems still that cool, if comparing within others devices within them front lighting active.
I guess I'd be again for the Pocketbook Inkpad 3.
Hopefully it will come something on that "Spectra 3" technology too, btw.

That still has some wacky color missing's spots: Color E-Ink That Actually Looks Good: Reflection Frame with E-Ink Spectra 6
Edit: didn't watched, there is an unofficial hack to improve light on Remarkable Brighten Up: Remarkable Paper Pro Hack for Brighter Frontlight
Edit , again:

Software version 3.19 officially adds a brightness boost to the Remarkable Paper Pro by default. Although the update is still in beta, it includes a new "Extra Bright" toggle that essentially replicates the same effect as the hack shown in the video. But with ~11 nits it's even brighter than the hack (~8 nits). In short: no need for the workaround anymore! Just apply for the beta program or wait for the official rollout to enjoy the brighter screen.

Gallery 3.0 at it's hype quality is x10 slower than regular eink. It's for posters, shop displays etc, but not competing with video. Almost no-one buying it for original purpose.

It's clever and Cyan Yellow Magenta is the way to go for a passive screen, but Gallery 3 is essentially a failure.

The one shown into the video is "Spectra 3", which yet is for poster and shop displays (at the moment?); "Gallery 3" is only on ReMarkable devices (iirc), and has the better vivid colors (but, again, price).
I was looking at this (posted on another thread):

And the color differences, comparing to Kaleido, it's there.
If the updated firmware on Remarkable allows having more backlight, I don't see how that Gallery 3 won't be a better choice.

Gallery 3 keeps the 300 ppi in color mode, while others drops to 150 dpi, from their 300 dpi in black and white mode.
Edit: pardon the crossposting, thought while having reading new informations about, I guess it was worth discuss it here too.
Ps: can't care about the apps, I mean using it just for comic or graphic novels, it won't be any slow imho.

ReMarkable Paper Pro resolution is 229 PPI (for both color and B&W), not 300 PPI:

I think there is no clear 'best' device here. It comes down to personal use cases, preferences and budget. There are nearly always tradeoffs.

Given that the topic does not mention eInk, I'm going to say the best color device is the iPad Pro with an OLED screen.

From the OP, the first post, the first sentence:

1. The OP does mention eink
2. OLED wear out
3. iPads are stupidly shiny
4. iPads are at least x2 overpriced
5. iPad is a walled garden and a Factory reset after support ends will leave you with only Apple apps, and none accept direct copied files. The most ancient ereaders still work, and even Android 3 can have 3rd party ereader app added from archive sites.
