Think that those who disagree with a color e-ink device for any reason are way off and miss the point. This technology needs to be developed. So what if a color e-reader costs $600 or $6000 at the beginning, someone will buy it and the technology will advance. There are lots of examples of things we didn't need that have become mainstream and now even obsolete. The CD player that once cost over $1000 is now being replaced with an electronic chip. The microwave that was once only found only in industry is common in almost every home kitchen. The automatic transmission, electric windows, electronic calculator, garage door opener, cruise control, color TV, remote controlled devices, cell phones, game consoles, etc. were all once only the province of the rich and even deemed unnecessary by some. I think that color, touch screen, voice activated, and other things that I can't imagine in e-readers will become mainstream.
