Not a fan of text reflow I take it. If by book you mean a novel, not a graphic-novel or
comic book, then illustrations are at a minimum and easily accommodated. If you mean
a reader for textbooks, manuals or magazines then color and a larger size is mandated
and your points have some effect. As is the case for the graphic-novel and comics
mentioned earlier.

The thing is, the display requirements for a photo rich glossy magazine and a movie
and a modern web page are basically the same. So for the display side of a device
that would properly display your "Nat Geo" or "Scientific American" you need just as
much as you do for a high resolution gaming or video playback device. For a novel
you don't need all that and can have a B&W device that can sip power over a much
longer period. The technology is here for both, but not in the same price range or
with the same form factor or being able to function for the same period on a charge.

Luck;
Ken
