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

Couldn't care less about colour myself. And a faster page turn isn't a given either, that depends on the hardware, the same as with e-ink screens.
But what about a backlit screen? For some people that could be a very important advantage of LCD. So much even, that they won't even consider e-ink even though that might have some other advantages that they'd like.
And reading outside: I can read perfectly outside on one of my LCD screens. Even in direct sunlight. So, that's also not only on e-ink screens.
People simply forget that there are so many different type of LCD screens that there is always one that will fit your need. No backlight? No problem, here you have a reflective screen. Reading outside? No problem, try this transflective screen. Colour? No problem, you have a choice between this transflective or this transparent screen.
