I know they made a few devices and saw some projects of people retrofitting them in acer and thinkpad laptops. For a period maybe 10 years ago adafruit also sold the display and driver as a standalone. Then I assume they went bust (around 2015, according to wikipedia).
Would be great if someone made those again to retrofit on business laptops.
Edit: here is a demo with the transflective and light-up mode of the Qi10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi6DbFyZde8
in all seriousness, eink devices use something called front lights, which are embedded in the side of the tablet or device and project light from the edge of the screen. it works very well, even allowing red or amber light coloration which is great on the eyes. i have read that front lighting adds a little bit of thickness to a device, though my devices with the technology seem just as then as any of my regular lcd devices.
The screen made already a descent job in "dark" places [1].
