Only one company in the entire world makes e ink displays?
Yeah, E Ink is actually a brand. AFAIK there's no one else producing suitable displays for ereaders at scale.
All the panels used by all Kindle, Nook, Kobo and Boox eReader models are made by Carta.
There might be other companies that make those other kinds of small updatable eink displays used in stores, or the tiny ones on microcontrollers.
