I assume that color magazines and comics involve pictures, which benefit from a larger screen. I do not anticipate Amazon releasing a large screen color e-reader anytime soon. They have let the Kindle DX sell out, and are not taking orders for more at this time. They deny that it is discontinued, but it appears that it is. If you want an e-reader for color mags, then the ectaco jetbook is one of the only options. The price will probably not drop in the near future, as it is a niche product. Ask around on this site for users' experience with its screen. From what I have heard, most people like it.
If you decide against a color e-reader, then I would recommend the $69 Kindle, as a fair number of Paperwhites are defective. It is unclear whether or not Amazon will be able to fix the problem with the screens in the next few months, I suspect that they will not. Many companies decide to stick with products with a high defect rate, such as Microsoft and its xbox 360.
