E-ink displays are slow (my device was manufactured 15 years ago but I 
do not expect dramatic improvement), so applications should be heavily 
optimized to provide acceptable experience. I do not think that Emacs is 
suitable.

The wonderful property of reflective display is that its brightness 
follows ambient conditions. (Almost) direct sunlight during image 
refresh (page switching) may cause low contrast noisy image. A 
workaround is to move the book into shadow or close cover for a moment. 
For static image bright light is not a problem.

I am curious if pdf-tools is able to display annotations created on 
devices with stilus.
