in theory this should be much more interesting than e-ink (lcd refresh rates, similar to sharp mip displays in pebble/garmin/playdate, frontlight), but not so sure about the android tablet chassis.

Unfortunately, with these technologies, it is the effect revealed by direct experience to determine whether "you would use it or not".
