In parallel, if a good looking colour e-ink display can be built, it might be the thing that sways some of the market away from tablets to e-readers.
The choice would then become one of "month long battery, VERY easy on the eyes, no moving images" versus "short battery life, video but kind of tiring on the eyes."
I don't think most people appreciate e-ink as much as we "the converted" do.

Regarding the NOOKcolor: it IS a tablet, not an e-reader.
Perhaps B&N bet on the right horse though and market ignorance will gut e-ink device sales. |
I don't think most people care to be converted to eInk
