Part of the problem is the globe material: it covers both the black side and the "white" side so it makes the dark side lighter and the light side darker. Front lighting helps a bit. Backlighting would help more but at that point you might as well go LCD.
Umm... an eInk display works by moving the white or black particles to the viewing surface of the capsule. A backlight would have to try shining through the entire sandwich and would not work at all never mind help more.
