What you probably mean is that it doesn't count as a regular display because of it's lack of a pixelized matrix. No, it really is Epaper in every definition.

That, and you can turn on and off some squares and rectangles. Let me clarify--there are no pixels. There are sectioned off portions of the Epaper that be turned on as a whole or off as a whole. Thus, you can't create anything other than what you can make using the segmented shapes given to you. Sad, huh?
