Hope you can answer me! have a good one
Impossible to answer without more technical details of the tablet electronics.

The interfaces used by an e-ink screen and a lcd srceen are different but some SoC devices have support for both.

Once you answer the: "is it possible" question, then you have to find an answer to the: "is it practical" question.
In general, without knowing your resources for board redesign and rework, I'll hazard a guess:
No.

Just buy a replacement screen for the tablet.
It is a lot less grief in your life that way.

tl;dr: No
