I've always been interested in these devices as sunlight readable displays. And in general, a simple high contrast display in a browser is attractive.

It might be impolitic to put this in the Openplotter image, I'm not sure.

I arrived in New Zealand a few months ago and have been chatting to the R-Class guys in Lyttleton. They have been using e-Ink displays for some time on their race computers (a few years I think), so well ahead of the game it seems. 

Their displays are quite small but perfectly adequate for reading digits.. they display speed and time information mainly but I think can also display other stuff as needed such as acceleration etc.. 

Anyway back to the subject. I think your best bet will be messing with a kindle as I don't see e-Ink displays being on the general market anytime soon. Anything affordable by most of us will have to be home-brew.
