The trademark that was registered is actually "E Ink" (with a space). It's owned by E Ink Corporation, and indeed an abbreviation for
electrophoretic ink. However, I said "e-ink" (note the hyphen and casing), which obviously does not reference the proprietary "E Ink" brand, but rather as an abbreviation for "electronic ink", just as "e-mail" abbreviates
electronic mail. I can understand the confusion though, so I'll try to say e-paper when talking generally about all paper-like display technologies to avoid confusion.
There are a variety of different kinds of e-paper, and it's clear that the OP is not after a particular proprietary brand, but rather anything paper-like. The reflective LCD variety implemented in the hybrid pixelqi display is quite suitable for the OPs needs.
