That's not entirely correct. Windows CE is an operating system - the graphical "shell" that presents the UI is just a program that it runs. I agree that the standard Windows GUI shell wouldn't work at all well on eInk, but it could trivially be replaced by some kind of menu system. You see examples of that at ATMs, for example; at least in the UK most ATMs run Windows and they use a custom "shell".
