That is good news in the sense that the current version will become cheaper
If the take the current one as price reference and go up from there (ex the new ereader will be 500$) then that is going to be a dead project right there.
Why would I buy a surrogate when I can buy the original: a tablet !
With color screen and increased refresh rate the battery life will be decreased. Not sure if the price will be competitive for now. Look at what happened with the other colour e-ink reader (it has a subforum here) ...lots of disappointments there and a prohibitive price.
They are not saying if this new one will be 10" or less. I did not watch the video to its end ....I might be wrong here.
Anyway, bottom line ..I am not very interested. It might work for other buyers but not for me
