*Disclaimer* My experience is more in large scale exterior signage. A "small" digital for us is an outdoor 4x8. *Disclaimer*
I looked at the eInk displays. I can't find any pricing but those seem like a cool option. Should be able to do the fine text like you mentioned. I would check into that first.
Your other option, as mentioned, is an LCD of some sort. Check around, there should be a setup out there for using LCD as a directory.
