Don't let a term like e-paper fool you, it is just another fancy name used for a particular brand of LCD.
e-paper is nothing like e-ink and nowhere near as good.
A good e-ink reader has a substrate layer on top, which evenly disperses light across the page, a bit like optical fibre when light is sent through it. A substrate layer is like a very thin sheet of glass. It is much kinder than backlit LED to your eyes.
So we are talking very different devices, with e-ink being vastly superior.
