It is possible to make e-ink colour devices but from what I've seen, the colours are very dull and washed out which is why I suspect Amazon hasn't gone with this route yet. The other option would be to use the same tech as a iPhone or nook colour which are backlit but more like reading from a computer screen instead.
Thanks you I will have a Look DashaRegards
