Awesome designs. I thought it would only be a matter of time before somebody suggests we write a new UI 
The first screen (to me) looks very much like what already exists for mobile UIs and the second screen I would imagine to be an application (that might not even be eink exclusive).
Given how long it took to create a PinePhone UI that works - I would suggest to build upon this progress to avoid duplicated efforts and more delays. I imagine a *large* number of PinePhone apps would also work really well on the PineNote without any real changes at all.
I imagine this could be achieved with an intelligent display driver that updates the display only when required and applies some post-process filtering to make icons, etc, more e-ink friendly. As I understand it, the eink display is pretty capable and it might even be able to play video at 30 fps.
Also, I would suggest that in general, high contrast icons would benefit all projects anyway. Don't forget that a significant amount of the world is colour blind.
