And exactly there lies the difference: power (of course meaning on Android) and real estate.
I was referring to the visual latency you mentioned before, and perhaps why an eink device might differ from a regular tablet (in extreme circumstances). Perhaps to say "for casual use" is a not giving enough credit. Power increases the usability, I recognize this already as I have used a quad core eink phone.

I was actually one here to call these devices tablets. I've been hoping to use eink in this way since the first kobo aura had scrolling without any refreshes. There is a fun geeky kind of feeling I have about eink, it gives me that feeling of using a really old computer, except backlit-free ofc.
