*) The display **is** the case frame.
*) 5 fps - easy, read up on the Kindle video display here.
*) do some more research here -
-) look at the devices tear downs, perhaps even buy one and take it apart so you have a better idea of what you are suggesting.
-) look at the threads on using the Kindle as an information display

Perhaps you have the wrong product to start with -
Check out the devices that are produced as 'electronic price tags' - which are also e-ink displays.
Those should be much simplier electronics to re-purpose.
I think by "color" they meant shades of gray (black, white, and gray are colors).
