eInk gets kudos for low power consumption and hence longer battery life, and a display some folks consider easier on their eyes. Neither of those are compelling factors for me. But eInk does not support color, which is a compelling factor - I need color support in any ebook reading device.
Possible. But battery life would be an issue, likewise reading outdoors, and the margins on a $99 reader would likely be slim at best. As mentioned earlier, there's no reason for Amazon to bother. They want you to buy the books, from them, and there are an increasing number of options for doing so that don't require a Kindle.

Are you suggesting the jetBook isn't sunlight readable, and that it displays color?
