New screen technologies like Mirasol may make color screens as pleasant for reading as e-ink in a year or two (and offer the same long battery life), while also giving us all the advantages of LCD screens.
But even then, when you really could have a functional all-in-one device, a $30 or $50 b&w e-ink should find plenty of buyers. For books you don't need color and a light and small device is perfect for many. But for a tablet, as a media consumption device, bigger is better (up to a point, of course).
