Being blind, I need more contrast between font and background, ereaders that allow "night" reading are a step in the right direction (for me) but a color ereader set with black background, gold font set to a bold setting is pure heaven for my eyes (I'm not worried about eye damage with backlight screens
I can even read with my "twice the legal definition of blindness" left eye that I cannot using other e-ink screens
Right now most devices that I've tried (and returned) that offer me this function are tablets which (to me) have unacceptable battery life and 90+% do not allow for easy battery replacement
The Aluratek Color Ereader

I was reading at the American Federation of the Blind about projected severe vision problems
http://www.afb.org/seniorsite.asp?Se...ocumentID=3374
"Today, 6.5 million Americans over age 65 have a severe visual impairment, according to the Longitudinal Prevalence of Major Eye Diseases 2003 study. Experts predict that by 2030, rates of severe vision loss will double along with the country's aging population (Prevent Blindness America's Vision Problems in the U.S., 2002)."
There might be a market for a dedicated color ereader (no wifi, or android) for this segment of the population... combine it with text to speech and mp3 (audio books) capabilities and it would meet the needs of low vision/blind users
