But for augments sake, lets assume the tech used by Amazon's latest eReader is currently "best of kind".
And lets assume it not proprietary, & hence usable for a 3rd-party Other Half OEM:

Okay, so the neatest Kindle has 6" dispaly with (758×1024) 16-level-grayscale pixels.
Now, assuming that the size of the OH display would be same as the one on the front side, that means with the same pixel density we get about 42% of the total pixels, that is about 326kpix.
For 16 grayscale levels we need 4bits/pixel, so it totals to about 1.3M raster clock. This is for full update of the display. If you really want to run live video on it (which is quite pointless on e-ink anyway) with any decent motion-compression scheme the required bandwidth is sufficent.
