Text books and the like could use color but I see those on tablets like the Fire, Nook Tablet, Vox, and IPad then I do an e-reader. The tablets have color and tned to have larger screens and interactive options that are going to be useful for a textbook.
Magazines are the really big market for large-screen colour devices. There's big money there - the average person spends much more on magazines than one books. A large-screen colour eInk device, with its low power requirements and long battery life, could be very desirable as a magazine reader, especially when flexible displays finally make an appearance.
