Nope. Form factor is.
Otherwise you'd stick to books... which have paper "displays" as highly esteemed by reflection display advocates. Imagine an e-reader "monitor" that provide
perfect paper experience... but is chained to a desktop, with a power cord, in sizes no less than 23". You wouldn't care about such a device.
e-ink is a compromise of readability, affordability, form factor, and battery life... if the compromises it chooses makes you happy, terrific, but that's far different from saying it is empirically superior for readability where other technologies elect a different balance of compromises to enhance that.
