Your point is easy to see and I quite agree with you on the eBooks.

What you are missing is the fact that eReaders (my Kindle for example) are used for browsing the Web. Newspapers. Online magazines. Manuals. Maps All sorts of things. I can tell you first hand that looking at a weather map in shades of gray is not very informative. Even other maps have deficits because of a lack of color.

True I have a Galaxy Tablet but not with me at all times. I keep the Kindle with me 100% of the time because it has 3G which I admit might not be available in a newer Kindle. Still I would snatch up a color Kindle especially with a lit screen and a SD card before you could say "lickety-split."

We don't need video or flash. We don't need 64K shades of color. Just a modicum of color would do fine.
