All true but I couldn't sleep last night. (What, you want more?)
So I "solved" one of the problems with eInk. I gave it a rapid refresh rate.
30 FPS, fully capable of watching a video.
7000 page turns at 30 turns per second = 233 seconds, round up to 240.
Today's eReader could show about four minutes of video.
I don't believe the physics of the device will allow it but even if it used ten times less power, 40 minutes would be about the maximum.
