I think the problems caused by blue light exposure have been turned into marketing by leading vendors, with many emphasising their products' low blue light certifications.

I cited a lab-based experiment in the post above only as a reference. However, it should be noted that it is only one study, and two authors are associated with E Ink.
The good thing with monochrome E Ink e-readers is the ability to turn off the front light without affecting readability in most conditions - the same can't be said regarding Kaleido 3. reMarkable work on Gallery 3 has a potential to move beyond Kaleido - in the future Paper Pro could be seen as a landmark device in the development of e-readers and e-notes.
