Could get that with eInk pretty easily. Refresh times are still pretty awful though. I had a dumb phone years back that had an eInk display and it would easily last a month between charges.

I think they've improved a lot on the refresh times but I doubt it'd ever be useful for videos or gaming

They really have, yes. But, currently, I find them best for notebook/journal replacement tablets. I agree that, based upon the the mechanism used (physically moving pigment capsules in fluid), it's very unlikely to be useful for gaming. Physical displays can only refresh so quickly.
