I predict this won't be popular. E-ink is great for reading a book, especially on a portable battery-powered device, but on a large desk display connected to a general-purpose computer, it doesn't make sense at all.

Slow and inconsistent refresh rate, limited lifetime cycles that you could wear it out in a year or 2 with frequent use.

If you work mainly in text (reading, writing, programming), then e-ink makes a ton of sense over LCD. Low power, easier to read.

For those who use their computers mainly to watch movies and play video games, e-ink would not be ideal.
