RGB because it's an additive system - turn on all three RGB and you get white.
If, instead of a filter over the top of an eInk screen, each pixel had a vertical stacking of controllable colour elements, a CMY scheme would be the one to use, as then it would be a subtractive scheme (like printers inks).
It's not a question of convenience of the source formats, but just concerned with whether you're generating your colours by adding light together to make colours and eventually white or subtracting from white light to make the colours and eventually black.
