    Also, a big selling point of e-ink is that it can be lit externally and match the color tone and brightness of your outside environment. If you’re blocking out the outside environment, what’s the point of e-ink?

      Even while lit, e-ink appears different than a backlit screen. Being front lit, it does still mimic a book being lit by a light. Eye fatigue is a big talking point when considering backlit vs frontlit displays.

        I’m not convinced that benefit would hold true if it was locked to your head, but the details are still sketchy, so I’d be happy to be convinced otherwise by some third party reviews.
