Nice summary.
Also, can you confirm how the [bi- | quasi-]stable term relates to the lay person.
As new technologies are discussed, I see these terms used to describe the technology.
If I understand correctly, when something is described with terms like bistable or quasi-stable, the lay person can interpret that to mean it's not drawing (much) power once the screen has been painted. And, thus leads to multi-day battery life. Is that right?
If that is right, then for me that means I don't care about any technology unless it is described with some relatively accurate (i.e. not marketspeak) "stable"-related term.
