A transflective LCD[0] though (that they call "e-paper"), which, in user-facing terms, is similar to e-ink.

Well now, users would notice if the screen has to constantly flicker like their Kindle instead of looking like a colour Casio screen. Meaningful user-facing distinction there.

Ah, that's fair enough. I was thinking of the positive e-ink-like properties, but this is a good point. "e-paper" in fact makes more sense here.
