My ideal use case for this would be full size wall art. Similar to the Samsung TV that when off looks like art on a wall. Being able to have a new piece of art displayed daily along with as another commentator said your schedule. Wake up enjoy the new random art and see what your plans for the day are. Im sure the ability to scale this would be quite expensive. Buying many to connect and make your own custom size could work.

This looks like it's just a regular LCD screen though, so it gives off light? The description wasn't very clear on this but the technical specs say AHVA LCD.

I recently built my own e-ink picture frame because I wanted it to feel like a regular picture frame (and it has fooled people already), because it is basically just a printed photo in a nice normal frame. And it looks amazing in direct sunlight, and obviously in the dark you see it less but that's the same with any normal picture frame.

If color e-ink was ready for this use case it would be pretty cool, but I think we're still a while away from that. It might also be too expensive.

mine would take inspiration from HN post 3 years ago where a Google Manager got a hold on a poster size e-ink screen and use it to display front pages of newspaper every morning. I would expanded it to a color display and use it to show the poster of the movie being displayed in my media server, but paying 3000+ for a panel of that size makes it a VERY hard sell for me
