That's pricey. Perhaps using a normal 4k monitor is a better option? It could even display video. You could couple it with a motion sensor to turn it off and save power when noone is around.

No. That would become another screen in your house. I think the power of this concept is it begin e-ink.
That sounds like a very different product from what they're offering here.

Eink feels close to paper, regular LCD's or OLED's do not.

There is probably some break even point, as a typical 4k monitor draws considerably more power.
If you only update the paper once a day with a new newspaper you can probably run a OLED for about 1 second per day on the same power budget.
