I think adding audiobook support to ereaders (should have fairly minimal impact on battery and cost) makes more sense than making e-ink tablets. Due to the slow refresh rate, e-ink would make poor general purpose tablets. Ideal configuration would be something like the YotaPhone but I somehow doubt demand for e-ink+LCD tablets is large enough to warrant development costs.
