Problem is, it gets hard to get the data out to them quickly. 16 bit * 128 * 128 is quite a lot of bytes to shift for each frame of data - it's also quite a lot of data just to store on the MCU :)
I have come up with a way of doing paletted colour on those displays, but haven't implemented it for that OLED driver (although it'd be easy to just copy the relevant code in if you wanted to).
If you're after nice black and white displays you could also look at the Sharp Memory LCDs. They are absolutely beautiful and amazingly low power, but unfortunately they're not exactly cheap either: http://www.espruino.com/MemoryLCD
