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.

Another mass market appeal for a color e-Ink screen would be digital photo frames. So long as the pixel density is high enough and the color gamut wide enough, this could replace all LCD screens in digital photo frames in very short order. With a realistic color gamut and a lack of a visible background (unlike a text page where you see lots of the grayish background around and through the text), this sort of thing could actually approach being indistinguishable from a printed picture. That would be a really nice thing to have and would probably sell very well.
