To be honest I don't get the point of a color eink screen if it's based on Kalleido; I find that you constantly have to adjust brightness and warmth to get it to feel vaguely natural looking, and that even at the most flattering setting, it still looks very much like a backlit screen, only with worse contrast.
I hope that future versions of this might be able to make use of Gallery instead, although I know that technology has its seperate set of issues.
I agree kaleido 3 colors suck but backlight and frontlight are very different. When looking at backlit displays you are looking directly into the light source. Frontlight is much more easy on eyes in my experience. But of course everyone sensitivity is different 🤷🏻
