Sorry, netbooks don't come with e-Ink screens -- I wish they did, but then they would need some kind of new operating system that understands the refresh limitations of e-Ink screens.
In reality, all that's necessary is a device driver that understands that, and those already exist.
Most UIs rely on immediate visual feedback. Assuming screen refresh latencies on the order of 1-4 seconds, any standard UI will feel extremely sluggish. Partial screen refreshes may be much faster... I haven't read any datasheets for the parts involved. -Bob
