Kindle users, can your reader do this: Flappy bird on e-paper

But I am certain that if I ever decide to buy a golf club, I won't use it to play hockey, just as I would not buy an e-book reader to play Floppy Bird.
The point of the article is that out there is an eInk platform that makes building and deploying web applications to eInk simple and developer friendly.
Disclaimer: I have developed Visionect Geoffrey restarurant ordering system and Wemar Nautipad nautic application for Visionect V Tablet platform.
Besides, I think the point of this article is that e-paper doesn't necessarily have to mean "ebook reader".
However, I'm guessing when designing it there were certain assumptions and optimizations that were made given the reasonable guess that the screen's content would not change often.
Is it possible you could somehow do bad things to the device by doing something like this? Maybe akin to red-lining an engine, or ghosting an old CRT, or maybe other things?
The devices themselves look kind of neat, wonder what pricing is at volumes. IE, if I wanted to build a restaurant ordering system based on this, what would it cost per device to sell to my end users?
