Of course, if you're not producing continuous tone images, the higher resolution is more important. Personally, I'd rather have a black/white 600dpi eInk screen than a 16-grey 166dpi eInk screen, but that's not an option yet.

I see it the way you do.
Apart from illustrations, I personally do not need many more colours than white and black for reading ;-)
