Yeah, I could certainly see how a 6" color e-reader would have a very limited appeal. I think the problem's going to be, if it's the same size as an iPad or a DX, then it's
definitely going to be more than an iPad (at least, in the foreseeable future). By the time color e-Ink screens
are competitive with an iPad at that size, Apple (and the rest of the industry) will be on to something else.
I think if you
need color for your e-book reading, you're better off getting a netbook or a tablet. That would just make more sense to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're reading comic books (aka "graphic novels"), isn't the eyestrain/glare thing less of an issue, anyway? The advantage I still think e-Ink would have in color would be for scientific textbooks and the like.
