Epaper and eink are different. Eink consumes no power when idle, and epaper consumes almost no power.

Yet they are also the same - E Ink is an e-paper display.
Electronic paper is a category for any low energy display tech that looks kinda like paper, E Ink is a brand name for a "Microencapsulated electrophoretic display" from E Ink Corporation. Also just known as E-ink because IIRC they have the patent on it so nobody else can actually make them.
