These products look amazing but a major drawback is the lack of colors. Any chance e-ink will get color support?

They exist and they look cool kind of like comic books. They are expensive and the refresh rate is slower though.

It's all how you explain it. 4k e-ink has ~ 8M balls, and can refresh ... let's say 10x per second. giving a stunning refresh rate of 80megaballs per second.

That's an incredibly high rate!

You can use Kaleido (E-Ink EPD with RGB filter on top) - it's already available. Or, wait for cheap and fast E-Ink ACeP ("Advanced Color ePaper").

Quality, you will have to assess.
