Yeah, but to me, if you are going to read magazines or comic books, then why do you need e-ink?
Other than perhaps Scientific American, is there a magazine that takes someone more than an hour to read? No, magazines are generally designed for quick reading
Same with comics. I guess if it's a compilation of several comics it might take more than five minutes to read. But for the most part you are looking at pictures.
When you factor in that you need a large gizmo to read those well, you're pretty much in ipad territory price-wise. B&W e-readers with that form factor are brushing that.
