I disagree. Most "text" is black and white. Newspapers are still mostly black and white. I see little added value in color that would all of a sudden make eBook readers a hot item.

Personally, I think we are still way in the early adoption phase. The prices are still relatively high for what they are, we have multiple formats competing against each other. Book publishers are still trying to figure out what the best way to sell books online is. Considering that we are still seeing advancements in this area, calling it a dead end is premature.
