Color e-ink would be nice, but I'm just not that excited about Mirasol. IMHO, going to a non-bistable display technology is a step backwards. The Mirasol display, while needing less electricity to maintain an image than an LCD, does need a constant power flow to keep the image up. Which means you have a much shorter battery life than e-ink, and you lose the ability to have a stand-by screen saver (which is a minor feature, but one I like.)

I can't see me ever using as my primary device an ebook reader without a fully bistable display technology.
