I think color e-ink will not come from a major company in the near future unless they can compete with IPad in the same category.
The Ipad lacks the battery life to be in the same category with a bistable color device.

This is like declaring a Ford F250 truck and a BMW Cooper to be in the same category because they both have 4 wheels and an engine.

I would buy a comic book sized electronic reader for camping in a heart beat.
