I'm perfectly happy with the progress of e-ink in motion It's not good, but it's enough to follow the occasional animation in a mostly static environment.

Color isn't bad either.

(Both do need either the front light cranked or a lot of ambient light to get that vibrance. They kind of fade a little in lower light without the front light)

I don't hate the idea of better progress in rLCD. I'd be pretty interested in a steam-deck-like that worked well outside in harsh sunlight. But I have a hard time seeing it match eink in contrast for static content. E-ink has a lot less ground to cover to get to "flawless".

What devices are these, in the video and photos?

That's the Boox go color 7.

The video is in the fastest mode. The comics are in the slowest, regal mode. You're going to have to manually tweak different apps with different content for the best results. But I really like what the color adds.
