Seriously, you really have even the slightest hope for a color e-ink screen that's useful for
scientific applications?
If it were still the 1970s and many color science/medical books were normally only available with poorly pigmented printing, then current color e-ink would be a perfect substitute for viewing anatomy or geology photos. But if black and white is insufficient information and you need color photos for certain imagery,
nobody today would use anything other than the latest beautiful color text books or printed photographs or digital photographs.
I would be blown away by color e ink that wasn't merely nice but good enough for natural photography as a near substitute for quality books or digital. It would truly be "star trek" level futuristic cool at last.
All I can think of today for purposes where color is informationally critical, that would look good on color eink as is, are maps that color code instead of pattern coding.
