All the reasons above... My Opus is only 150 grams and has a looooong battery life compared to anything in the LCD world.

Color E-ink: Have a mate that is an organic chemistry professor. He says not an easy thing to create. We have heard about the rumors of a real color e-ink screen for years on MR... to no avail.... Honestly...only Manga and comic readers would benefit...and the Irony most 99% of Manga in Japan is black and white.

As for me I prefer books in black and white... simple Let the story color my imagination not the screen.
