While they are monochrome (most) the levels of tone separation, in 
hardware and driver, are hardly an invitation to display B&W on. The 
"white" reflection level is low too.

A monochrome LCD with backlight or an OLED display will be much nicer.

No commercial product based on electrowetting available yet but in 
reflective version it might have the widest contrast of all reflective 
displays.
