Having said that, I think there is a nice market and sales opportunities here anyway.
Novels, some technical books and bestsellers, are the same with color or not, because they are mainly text. But magazines, photography manuals even ads are not for a Kindle, Sony or whatever uses eink, no sir. If eink is coming in color, reading such kind of documents would be amazing, a step forward, because the battery usage will be a positive factor for sure and you can take full advantage of the color screen.

Electrons don't have a low refresh rate and are not teh basis for e-ink.
There are several viable methods of having good color, high refresh, and low power consumption that are close to market now.
electrowetting is the term to look for and after
todays announcement I'm betting it will beat Mirasol to market.
