You bring up some good points. I guess it's hard for most people to think out of their own box and how they use their readers. I probably wouldn't read many how-to books on an e-reader and I don't read children's books or comics much. Most newspapers I see are 99% b&w or could be.
I don't really agree that not having a decent color e-reader is holding the market back but, I could be wrong. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
And, don't get me wrong. When color eink readers are the norm and can be gotten at a decent price, I'll be thrilled to own one. It just isn't a deal changer for me with the way I use an e-reader. From the looks of the poll results so far, I think most of us agree with that. I wish them well with it though. While I don't see this as a major market shift, it will no doubt change things some and I'm curious to see what those changes are and how Amazon reacts and when.
Great discussion all the way around.
