If the answer to (1) is yes, then get pretty much any of the current displays and start reading. If the answer to (2) is yes, then pick up a book. There's no reason to suggest or require the 'death of eink' simply because it can't manage a niche display requirement.

It all depends upon how you define 'niche', doesn't it? You're defining it as YOUR niche, because 95% of what you work with is words. I define "words only optimized" as niche, because I think only 5% of the population (marketplace) would be happy with "words only optimized". You and I are part of a niche. We read LOTS of words. That makes it not a niche for us, but it makes us a niche in the marketplace.
