I am thinking given the number of new display techs on the horizon, it might be time to begin using the correct terms when discussing readers in general to use epaper rather than eink which is a specific variety/brand of epaper technology.

If not, then cool but I suspect it will be less confusing for new people as they begin investigating readers.
