e-ink is a wonderful thing. But, it’s really only useful for e-readers and maybe price displays in stores. It has a frame rate in seconds-per-frame rather than frames-per-second. That’s fine if what you’re looking at is pretty static, but for general purpose displays it’s pretty useless. But man, it is just great for e-readers.
I’d more like put color e-ink into that category - as gimicky and half-baked technology building on a more established one (e-ink is doing quite well with readers, low-power displays, etc.)
