Good point Harry! Perhaps this is the reason color eInk devices are taking so long to get out of the prototype stage - display quality. We already know that the eInk displays particles have a black & white side, so how do they incorporate more colors to the mix without making it look like you're viewing something through frosted glass? Maybe they've already designed a different shape to the particles, perhaps an octahedron to flip around, though that would still be quite limiting in the range of colors mix. Guess I'll have to look for the Cliff Notes version of the color eInk displays when we learn more!
