Look at the specs of the this device..

2 Seconds switch rate on gray, 10 on color! I mean this is redicolous slow.

On the other hand, one power of eInk is that it always looks the same indifferent on the angle you look at it. Altough modern TFTs have a hugh viewable radius, I wonder what view radius this has. I don't expect it to work when I look just over the border of the device as eInk does.
What makes you believe that the link is reflective LCD? It is E-INK I believe. Reflective LCD cannot do colors to my knowledge but it has quick page changes, as quick as normal LCD. It basically is really is normal LCD with a mirror behind the screen instead of a light. The lack of a light source is what prevents the color since without control of the light source you can't control the color in LCD.
