But currently, the colour low power displays all seem to have significant drawbacks over 'equivalent' eInk greyscale ones.

The same could happen here, you never know.

Well, I will show what an "Old Salt" I am. When I was young, we didn't have table salt, because tables weren't invented yet. We only had rock salt and then we discovered sea salt when we had that big flood. (Still it has been a while and I might have that mixed up.)
I remember when I bought my first computer Monitor. It was a choice between a monochrome "Hercules" monitor or a color monitor that had either 4 or 16 colors. I chose the Hercules because it was very sharp but it was monochrome.
I think and hope that color eInk will improve rapidly.
