For me personally, I'm happy without having a colour device at this point in time. Most of the items I read don't even have any images - so it's all about the text.
If more publishers took the time to fill their Amazon cookbooks, for example, with gorgeous colour photos - then perhaps I'd feel that a colour display might be pretty nice. But you're lucky if you get any images at all. I feel that most publishers are just plain lazy when it comes to producing books for the Kindle (and other ereading devices)
Colour would also be nice if we could view Kindle content via book covers. That would be a bonus.
I'm sure Amazon have got a number of colour prototypes in the works and possibly we'll see a colour device next autumn - but whether that's an e-ink device remains to be seen.
