Kindle color 2025
Found this 2 days ago, surprised it's not been mentioned yet. Or, if it was, I just missed it.

Badereader has a well deserved reputation for just making things up. Like a fortune teller, a very few of them turn out to be correct. Most people here have given up on getting anything useful there and refuse to give them any clicks. (They also frequently take information from mobileread and elsewhere and palm it off as their own.)

I tested a demo Sony in 2006 or 2007, before the kindle came out. It was quite grey, but page turn was OK. Nothing like as bad as 1.5s = 1500ms.
ACeP aka Gallery 3 is only for retail signage, and while its colour range and brightness in ambient light is far better than Kaleido it's still very poor, like PC High Colour rather than PC True Colour. What's a Kindle prediction got to do with an Apple product Prediction? I'd not bet that Amazon isn't going to do a colour eink, because they've made mistakes on products before. Anyone got an Amazon phone? More likely to bring out a premium tablet. I think the only future for color ink is retail signage. |

Eink for mono text, like reading a novel, can't be equalled though you can get close. |

Given BADeReader's past history (how many times did they announce the Voyage 2?), I generally tend to look at their predictions as being automatically false clickbait. Nathan Hoffelder's eBook Reader site has been a lot more conservative and accurate.

Agreed but his site does not seem to cover tech news as much as it once did. Interesting articles are posted, but not much as far as e-reader tech news goes.

Here's the original analysis by Ming-Chi Kuo that was cited by all these sites (English is below).
I have some reservations about this, such as a rumor that Kobo will start mass production of color e-readers in 1Q24. This is in no way confirmed by the FCC leaks. |

Not to mention that historically, B&N and Kobo have both had time limited exclusives on eInk panels used in their ereaders. |
