E Ink's next-generation Carta 1400 e-paper display has been pushed back, with supply-chain sources telling Good e-Reader that mass production won't be ready until late 2027. Partners including Foxconn, Netronix, and Linfiny have received samples for future e-readers. The delay also cascades to the Kaleido 4 and Gallery 4 color e-paper platforms, while rumors point to contrast beyond 20:1, lower latency, and reduced text ghosting.
