Dunno if they would work as monitors though.
Not without a lot of work. There are a number of eInk displays with GPIO headers for use with something like a Raspberry Pi. Waveshare sells a number of them in different sizes for not too much depending on size. There is some guides on the net for using them with a Raspberry Pi or Arduino for things like a clock that displays the weather or stock quotes but PCs would be harder as they don't have GPIO pins. You'd also have to be somewhat comfortable with electronics and programming.

For example there is this Paper TTY project for using an eInk display on a RPi as a text terminal or VNC screen share but you can see from the video on the page it's not exactly snappy.
