There is a reason. The Electronic papers used have a very low refresh 
rate and ghosting can occur. My Sony flashes black then white to

Mine has a resolution of 600 x 800 pixels on a 6” screen, 8-levels gray 
scale, fits in a jacket pocket and although a bit reflective can easily 
be read under artificial light or bright sunlight.
