E-Ink displays have a very low refresh rate (something like one or two frames per second). So, there is no smooth scrolling on these devices. There can even be 'flashes' where the display inverts the previous image to clear it properly before the new image appears. Their strength lies in looking something like ink on paper, and low power usage so batteries last weeks without needing to be recharged. There are plenty of video clips on YouTube showing E-Ink displays in action. You should have a look at those if you can't actually try one out yourself first.
