The screen tech is not even close.
I have an epaper device already that I use when I want that experience.
But the refresh rate and zero-blue-light put the Daylight in a category of its own; one I thought I needed. I think I was right, at least on the hardware side.

I have a Ratta Supernote, and as much I as I like it, a normal LCD without a backlight is a very interesting solution
E-ink screens don't emit any blue light, actually they don't emit any light unless you turn on the backlight which is necessary only in a really dark environments. On the other side daylight uses LCD panel, well, reflective LCD. It can work without backlight, but only in a really well lit environments. In average use Daylight will emit much more light than the true e-ink display. It has fast refresh rate because, well it's LCD. Stick matte foil on top of the iPad, slide color temperature all the way to more warm and you got yourself a better Daylight.
Daylight cannot emit any blue light at all. iPads still do, even on warmest. and the reflective LCD makes a big difference.
I agree it's not ideal, but it is more desirable in a bunch of situations
