Exactly. eInk was designed to display a static document with infrequent changes (turning pages). Completely different goal than a computer monitor.

If they want to put a static document on the "eInk monitor" and don't expect to be doing typing/changing on it, just reading, then it would theoretically not be a bad idea. They don't exist though, as others have already mentioned.
