Most of the e-ink improvements mentioned are what I would consider incremental, not quite a "new generation," and I assume we'll see those improvements eventually. But I doubt they will make much of an overall impact on the market.
What I would consider a "new generation" of e-ink, and one that would significantly impact the market, would be encompassed in one word: Color. Color will move us into access to popular magazines and textbooks, opening the available content market and user base by an order of magnitude, and the market would be forever transformed.
