I predict--or maybe the better word is 'hope'--that even if there aren't enough vocal e-ink-preferring readers to sway development of display tech, there are enough other uses for a sun-light-readable, reflective, non-self-illuminated display that can maintain an image with no power applied, that displays will eventually evolve to a technology that does it all as well as we all want.
