Wherever a human would survive, eink would work, except in water. If we're talking in zero atmosphere and absolute cold, I don't think so.
By space, I do mean in human environments such as the ISS, the Space Shuttle and any other future manned space endeavours.

As I mentioned in the original post, I was more interested in them as a replacement for paper books and/or Lcd's on missions for its compact size and power consumption, a point of concern on missions.

As for things not working in space, I remember an article that some computer components like regular hard drive cant work in space as they are dependent upon a air cushion to work, and woun't work in Zero G. Link to Article
