The Kindle is definitely eink.
On page 31 in the troubleshooting part of the manual it is stated:

Q: My screen flashes every time I turn a page.
A: The flash you see when you turn a page is a normal part of the display refresh process.

Something familiar?
On page 39 of the same manual are the specs.

Display : 6" diagonal electrophoretic display 600 X 800 pixel resolution 4-level grayscale.

On page 16 of the 'retrieve Kindle' PDF document, you can clearly see the e-screen.
This is why there is so much of a good vibe going for the Kindle. Its design is awfull but the machine was promising as it was. It's built around eink and a wireless communication system.
The manual is pretty revealing and interesting to read.
To recap the source, those documents were retrieved on the FCC site while the Kindle was awaiting certification. A couple of us had the good fortune to save them and the next day they were removed from circulation.
I can just imagine how angry the officials at Amazon were.
