I agree with you, especially when PixelQi will have their products on the market, I even fear that ebooks will be very limited.

For me, if PixelQi finds a way to keep pixels lit and lower the refresh rate when reading books (to say 1fps), and can increase it to 30fps when watching movies or playing games on their screens, without losing too much battery, I fear that E-ink will go extinct soon.
