The page turn speed i don't think it is an issue, when you turn a page every 90 sec or so. So those disadvantages are not very relevant if you don't read books like manga or with plenty of illustrations, so i think eink got a very good answer to readers needs with this technology so far, however everything is subject to improvement...

You are forgetting about art books, text books, user manuals, magazines, articles. They don't need to have plenty of illustrations. The eye can only distinguish between 32 levels of grey, so there is a limit to what you can do with grayscale.
The way people are reacting to a new screen, with slightly better contrast, it is obvious that the majority finds it relevant.
Zoom = refresh = page turn for E-ink, so if you find a text that can't be reflowed, and you need to move around the screen, it is going to be an issue.
I'm not saying that everybody needs this, but you seem to be restricting the definition of reading.
