Eink technology has maxed out its usefulness. It will take a brand new screen technology that leverages some of the advantages of eink--while still being technologically and financially viable in traditional, mainstream screen applications--to shake things up. Anything that doesn't do high-resolution, smooth-as-silk, color video will remain niche forever. Not dead. Just one size-fits-all, what-you-see-is-what-EVERYONE-gets niche.

If I was able to state a similar take on the matter as eloquently as you have I could have said that you took the words right out of my mouth.
