If this also has a flexible substrate, with colour it would start to make sense for restaurants that have started using tablets for menus.
You'll note that the linear resolution of the colour version is precisely half that of the greyscale screen. This almost certainly means that, like the older "Triton" eInk screens, it's not "real" colour, but rather a colour mask placed over an underlying B&W screen. Unless there's been a dramatic quality improvement over the Triton screen, this means muddy, unsaturated colours.
