The big benefit of eink displays is they use significantly less power than led displays.

you can't really say that and not mention the fact that e-ink is reflective and almost literally looks like paper, which is the main appeal for a ton of people. It's vastly more comfortable to look at for long periods, and remains easily readable in direct sunlight (just like paper).
