You have to define what you mean by "better". An electrophoretic display ("eInk") has different characteristics to a liquid crystal display (eg, the ability to display a static image without power consumption), but it also has a much slower refresh rate. An EPD display makes sense for a book reader, but it wouldn't make sense for a TV set. It's a matter of using the right technology for the purpose at hand, rather than one being superior to the other.
