I haven't heard such a rumor (though I don't follow big-screen eReaders too closely), but this strikes me as somewhat unlikely -- I'd suspect that turning a bog-standard HDMI signal into something an eInk display could handle would require quite a bit of computing power (probably more than an eReader's lightweight CPU could handle).
A more likely setup would seem to be for the computer/laptop to do the conversion via a specialised software driver, and export it to the eReader via USB and some protocol that that the eReader can display without much effort.
It wouldn't seem to be beyond the realm of possibility that this could be accomplished with a firmware rewrite or even (though this is less likely) an app.
