ED97 Looks like an ancient Vizplex panel. I would guess 2010s timeframe. Probably fine. Newer EPD controllers are still backward compatible I think.

E Ink is a niche market. In the display industry, anything below 2 million displays per quarter would be considered niche. Amazon is likely the only player in this market that can reach that kind of volume. Their volume is not high enough to justify scaling up a real high volume factory. From what I've heard, E Ink repurposes existing LCD production lines.
