What I understand is that the screen have bits which are white on one side and black on the other and an electric field causes them to change back and forth. Do these bits cover the entire area of the screen, like a fence or do they move around where needed? Does the field needed to keep most of the screen black versus the normal white give any extra wear and tear?
Completely random late night question but now I am feeling like a kid asking why the sky is blue ;p

What I understand about e-ink screens is they have static screens until they get hit with a charge. So I figure since the screen doesn't change until you change it, I don't see what color is on the screen would make a difference.
Oh and the sky is blue due to light reflections.
