If you're serious, you'd better have some serious cash. Vizplex charges $4000 for a 9.7 inch test bed with a display controller for development purposes, and you can hack it up from there. No one makes a dedicated computer monitor based on e-Ink; this display tech only works with text and static images, as the refresh rate is orders of magnitude too slow to display motion or even to work well with fast typing, and then there's the whole color issue.
Until this kind of technology is able to refresh in the 20 to 30 frame-per-second range at an absolute minimum AND can produce millions of colors AND can be produced in quantities that can make its unit cost rival LCD, you will not see e-Ink in a computer monitor anywhere except for very small niche markets, mostly for testbed, development purposes where the panel is ultimately targeted for a specific device such as a reader or a photo frame, and as you can see from Vizplex's price quoted above, such testbeds tend to be quite expensive.
If you're looking for something that will allow sunlight readability for your laptop, you may want to consider PixelQi's offering. It is a total screen replacement for your computer display that is a LCD panel with sunlight-readability characteristics.
