Agreed that color is inevitable. I don't need color but at some point it will cost the same as b&w so why not? I also think that in the future there will be no dedicated ereaders, only tablets of various sizes. Finally, the e-ink vs backlit issue will be solved by having e-ink (or something like it) with a backlight that you can turn on and off, depending on whether you need it.
When all these things come to pass, I will think back fondly on my old Sony 650.
