If you want all of the above, you are going to have to wait for a different technology.

color, is secondary if you read books without images and they are probably the majority, contrast might be relevant if it is not above a tolerable minimum.
The page turn speed i don't think it is an issue, when you turn a page every 90 sec or so. So those disadvantages are not very relevant if you don't read books like manga or with plenty of illustrations, so i think eink got a very good answer to readers needs with this technology so far, however everything is subject to improvement...
