The OS is so very much not built for refreshrates measured in seconds or hundreds of milliseconds rather than milliseconds. Not to mention of course that the CPUs used in eInk devices are anemic to the point of ridiculousness.

Other types of display tech combined with photo voltaic cells in the frame of the display would make it possible to run the display outside for longer time than just only on a charged battery.
