The arena in which colour eInk will be extremely attractive is for such things as magazines. Once it's available, I can foresee a boom in the market for large-screen readers aimed primarily at the magazine-reading audience.
Magazine on a 6 inch screen is not an ideal experience. Also, have you noticed the trend of e-magazine? It has links and embedded videos. It also goes social. Check Flipboard for iPad.

If Amazon does follow this trend and add color with video capability to Kindle DX, iPad and Android tablets will surely be the ones Kindle would be compared to.
