Finally, E Ink was pushed because of its visual similarity to paper, making it more popular with those who were not satisfied with LCD readability, and incidentally because of its low battery drain... not because it was not capable of animation.
I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding the contract, but don't forget: We are talking about an alternative way for authors who also work independently of publisher's contracts to profit from their work, whilst giving consumers a product for lower- to no-cost.

Contract allows
control of what the Publisher does to your work.
If you place the product in your work,
you did it to your epic
If the publisher places thing
into your work, then you lost control.
Look at a certain books, movie series that controls extended even to the origin country of the actors.
Anything between chapters, drops me out of the story.
Maybe that is why I buy DVD's of television shows
