The same with tablets; they are just too power hungry if the screen is on backlight all the time. Although I think if the battery life problem is ever solved there could be some serious competition for eink - those colour screens are very appealing!

Apparently Mirasol color screens also give you days or even weeks of battery life, while being capable of running videos. So that problem will be solved soon, just not with LCDs.
