But I agree, these screens should be properly labeled so folks know what they are buying.

Electrowetting LCDs like those coming from
LiquaVista(recently purchased by Samsung) will be the position that you describe, IMHO, having seen it in person and spoken with the head guy there.
as for the labeling- My opinion is that anything labeled as ePaper should be reflective and bi-stable or very close to bi-stable
