These guys sell various E-Ink screens including 9.7":

OK, it looks good - res 1200 x 825 but is a little expensive at about 200 Euro, although if the recalibrating and matching of the screen to display system is included that isn't too bad a price.

I did notice that there were some problems with correctly calibrating the screens to the devices mentioned by some people. That I can understand as it is not an easy job - certainly not one that someone should attempt without at least an oscilloscope and a couple of high quality digital meters and, of course, the knowledge of how to do it.

That being said, a direct swap of edge screens stand a much better chance of working, at least well enough to be useful, than a new screen.

Thanks for the information, I'll give it to my parts guy in the morning to go on to his small list of edge possible replacement parts.
