Because, personally, I'd rather have a lightning-fast, incredibly responsive b&w display than a color one. Can't think of too many books that I would need color for, either - but then again, I don't read graphic novels on my Iliad.

To me, the demand for color is a little like asking for more Flash animations in a webpage or more thumping bass in a stereo - it doesn't add anything worthwhile to the information being conveyed.

Prove me wrong, folks - explain to me why we need color rather than, say, flexibility or even better battery life.
