Apart from the color option, tablets have faster processors as well. You need a faster processor to load and smooth reading experience of a large pdf. I have read pdfs above 100mbs on my iPad without any problem whatsoever. The worst thing about eink readers is the cheap and unreliable feeling you get while using them. They are slow and market is only accommodating obsolete processors.

I store my books in Google Drive (5 GB free space), it is half full and my whole library of academic books is there. I just scan my books as images and upload them to my drive and Good Reader takes them straight from there. No iTunes required. I can't read on eink at all. Too dark, processors too slow, no pdf annotation, no colors. Compared to reading pdfs on a tablet (in my experience) reading on eink feels primitive and a retrograde step. Most of us spend our days in front of backlit screens to earn our living, why can't we do the same to do our reading as well?
