Why? Yes, color is nice to have in photos or diagrams, but lots of content needs neither. A story on who won an election, or what disaster happened where, will often have a photo, but it's usually not one core to the story, it's just something put in to catch the eye. Which is less an issue when you have a small screen, and are not trying to draw attention to a particular part of a huge newsheet. Print newspapers have large sheets, but that's just how they're historically done. There's nothing about presenting news that truly requires huge display spaces. Just because print does something doesn't mean that it's right, or that epaper must do it the exact same way.
