It says it focuses on e-ink screen integration. What are the unique challenges of e-ink screens for reading ebooks?

At least in the past, screen refresh was slower; the reflective, rather than luminescent screen changed contrast and color performance; resolution was well behind standard screens.

The first two seem easily solved; the third hard to mitigate beyond larger print and appropriate typefaces. What else?

I think the eink focus is mainly in the UI as it avoids scrolling in favor of pages and tabs.
