Oh, you mean paperwhite ereaders. You can get those too. Android based.
(Pedantry incoming)
Paperwhite is actually Amazon branding. E-Ink is a brand as well, owned by the E Ink Corporation. The generic name would be electronic paper or e-paper.
Edit: Clarity.
Not entirely true. E-ink is trademarked by the e-ink company, sole manufacturer of e-ink displays.

That part isn’t Amazon-related.
I meant its branding, not Amazon owned, I should clear that up though it is misleading as written.
