E INK has officially rebranded the Kaleido 2 or New Kaleido, which will now be known as the E INK Kaleido Plus. Apart from the new branding, the print color display based device also arrives with various improvements.

As per a GoodEReader report, the Kaleido Plus offers brighter colors, which is thanks to its new printing pattern that brings the color filter closer to the ink layer. Furthermore, the color gamut has also been increased by over three times. This was enabled due to the improved front light illumination, which scatters lightless to offer better color saturation. In other words, the text is also crisper cause of the way the CFA produces white and black. For those unaware, the Kaleido Plus is the latest generation of print color display technology.

The Kaleido Plus also sports a 7.8 inch display, which is larger than the 6 inch variant from the first generation. The company is expected to launch the new iteration soon. Johnson Lee, E INK CEO stated that “We took our customer’s feedback from our initial launch, and incorporated it into this upgrade, bringing a new level of color saturation to our color devices, and we look forward Kaleido Plus being adopted in the eTextbook market in the future.”

He further added that “We are happy to expand our product line of color devices, presenting a new 7.8-inch PocketBook InkPad Color e-reader with updated Kaleido Plus,” said Evgeniy Zaitsev, Chief Sales, and Marketing Officer, PocketBook. “The world’s market of eContent is growing in terms of volume and diversity. There is more and more eContent with illustrations which require color, like comics and books for children, non-fiction and periodicals.”

ReMarkable has unveiled reMarkable 2, the successor to its well-received e-paper tablet launched a few years back. The newer model follows the footsteps of its predecessor with better design and a more powerful processor.

Unlike iPad and other tablets, the reMarkable tablet came with an e-paper display and its sole competitor was Sony’s DPT-RP1. Although Amazon Kindles feature e-paper displays, they can be only used as a reader, whereas, reMarkable allowed you to do more like writing notes on them with a stylus. The company crowdfunded this product and managed to sell more than 100,000 units.

Now, after a few years of development, thanks to $15 million investment from Spark Capital, the company is back with reMarkable 2, a successor to its original product with improved features. The new tablet from the company features a new reworked display from the previous generation by working closely with E Ink, the primary manufacturer, and investor in e-paper displays. This means the screen still measures 10.3-inches with 1872 x 1404 resolution and 226 DPI but features a paper-like surface and anti-glare layer. Though the newer model comes with the same 3,000 mah battery from its forerunner, the company claims a 3x boost in battery life because of a more powerful and more battery-efficient dual-core ARM processor present in it.

The reMarkable 2 is priced at $399, which is per se much cheaper than the original’s $700 asking price. Customers who pre-order it will get a Marker (stylus) worth $49 and a folio case as freebies.
