One thing we've learned is anything with kindle in its name will sell a boatload. Expect same for the kindle color.

The current resolution isn't great, but not that crucial with eink. It's the lack of contrast that bugs me. Why can't it look as good under normal lighting as it does in sunlight? I can't be roasting all day while I read.

It would also help a lot if we had more than 16 shades of gray. That eink hasn't progressed in these two areas is worrisome. Is it because they have no real competition, or is the tech a dead end?
