I think that SiPix screens refresh much more quickly than E-Ink. So, they could flip pages faster, be useful for viewing websites with Flash or other animations, show handwritten notes in near real-time,... It could be a more general gadget than ones based on E-Ink, that makes a better E-Reader than ones with back-lit screens.
