Actually e-paper is the more general term, while E-Ink is a brand name. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Paper for some history and alternative approaches, and
http://www.eink.com/display_products_pearl.html for brand information.
I recall reading about early versions 20 years ago, and they were called e-paper at that time. I guess it was a solution in search of a problem for a long time!
