I think the iPad will be compared to the Android tablets. Color E-Ink readers will be touted as a niche product because they would only run a minimal amount of programs at most. For them to gain mass popularity, the color E-Ink readers will need excellent battery life. I definitely enjoy that my EZ Reader Pocket Pro goes for half a month before I lose a bar on the battery meter and that's with reading 100+ pages daily. I don't quite agree with the need for touchscreens on ebook readers because of fingerprints but some form of annotation ability would be nice, such as via a touchpad.
