That's whyI believe that e-ink can't really 'burn in,' because the particles aren't affected by where they are in the capsules, and would eventually reach their own equilibrium (the graying thing).
About the only thing that could happen along those lines is for the driving hardware (the bits that push the particles around with electric fields) to physically wear out or get damaged ... or for the particles to lose their charge. The first should take pretty long to happen, since the particle pushers aren't actually
on all that much. The second, well that one's pretty obvious, but the third is the one I don't think we really have much of an answer on, but I expect it to take long enough that I'm itching to replace it in a major way before it happens (on the order of 10 years, I think I've heard rumors about
)
