Nope. My iPad and kindle are two different animals entirely.

I'd love to have a 10" eink device with high contrast and fast refresh rate. Even without colors, such a thing would be compelling enough for me to replace the iPad (provided it has 128 shades of grey or better). But that's not happening.

Eink seems to have stalled. The triton display looks pretty lame to me. The mirasol looks a few years away still. They have one underwhelming product on the market and can't even reach 6".
