I find them a lot nicer to read, they have lower power requirements and work wonderfully when it's bright.
I have an e-ink notebook and it's fantastic to take notes with, and I rarely think about charging it.
I'm planning to make a passive display showing things for the day near the front door with an inky frame, I messed with kindles for too long and realised I should just buy the right hardware and make the thing. I think the lack of a backlight makes them very nice for passive, low-attention displays. Glowing things are big "LOOK AT ME" visual distractors. The display should be battery powered for a significant time between charging. Weeks/maybe months?
