I agree with you that colour has more options for use on a large screen, but it can also be used on small screens. I use it for regular reading of novels, as I hardly read comics (CBR/CBZ) or PDFs. In addition to the user interface, programme menus and book covers, I find it nice to see chapter titles, quotes, notes and links in colour, and to have different underlining options in colour. I also find it useful in the many Wikipedia, translator and Google searches I do. The body text is still black, but those touches of colour add a lot of joy.
And for comics, you can always use a bullet-point scrolling mode or a division of the screen into rows and columns. Obviously it's much better if you see it all on one screen, but the small size can also be used to your advantage.
(On an e-reader the colours are duller than on screenshots, but the visual "feel" is the same).
