Depends on your definition of eReader. Is an eReader only synonymous with reading novels? or can it also read other formats?

For reading novels, I find eInk to be better. But for reading magazines, newspapers, comics, do-it-yourself guides, textbooks, childrens books, etc, I find color to be better.

I'll read novels on a Nook, but danged if I'll read the rest of that list on one. This is where Nook Color steps in. At half the price of an iPad, people can consume color content on a device not much larger than a regular Nook.
