one of the prime reasons for e-Ink being great is that it's not a battery drainer
and it doesn't drain too much battery precisely because of it's static nature. If you speed up refresh rate, it makes for a far worse display than LCD, aside from being visible under the sun.
face it: it's made for a mostly static task such as reading and reading as a whole has been going downhill for quite some time already. And most of the niche reading market will become snobs and prefer to have physical books all around them, to smell fungus and eat paper. Very few will prefer to carry all their books in their pocket...
