More likely then not it will be slow and insanely expensive and will not fit your needs.
The problem with the K3 browser is not that it is black and white, the problems is that e-ink does not work like an LCD screen so it takes longer to rearrange the screen in order to display a webpage. Someone here with a better understanding of the technology can explain the hows and whys.
I think of e-ink as a version of an etch-a-sketch where there black dots are being rearranged with each page turn. Trying to do that on a web page that uses a lot of graphics and the like is painfully slow and difficult. Which is why the browser seems to work best on pages designed for mobile phones since they are designed to limit the amount shown on the phone.
