I agree with brecklundin, very well stated!
It's not clear to me if eink will be able to be fast enough (refresh) to ultimately compete with the LCD and esp. hybrid screens coming out - which will probably eventually all have some sort of wireless network capability (as with computers, phones, PMPs, etc). But eink devices have demonstrated a real need for lower power consumption - although I'm not as optimistic as brecklundin as to the impetus. I think that it is more the promise of ultra-long battery life and ergonometrics (if I can use that term to include easy-on-the-eyes) driving the need.
