Almost anything is possible, depending on how much money and time you wish to invest in the effort. It might be easier to replace the DX (or DXG) mobo with a KOA mobo and the hacked eink driver circuitry (or DIY) from a DX. Some firmware tweaks in a KOA should be able to support the larger (and slower) DXG Pearl eink display, with plenty of room left over in the DX case for extra batteries.
It is very easy to drive eink displays directly from a tiny microprocessor, if you only need pure black and white. It is grayscale that is difficult to achieve (both batch and temperature sensitive). But B&W KFX, not that difficult if you concentrate on DX eink drivers injected into KOA firmware (and appropriate voltage adjustments on the eink signal lines).
