Exactly, a color reader sized for reading and priced just higher then the Sony 650 (B&W). It feels like they fill a space and are not trying to compete with the tablets coming out or the ipad. My wife reads a novel a week and probabaly 5 color magazines, she has no need for days of battery life, this is much closer to her reading needs then black and white and much closer to her price then iPad.
