Ok... but we are (at least I am) talking about [future] color eInk screens here. So, I would expect the text to be just as "sharp and clear" as the black text is. To say that you wouldn't want color for any reason just seems a bit silly to me.

For example, I have a color ink jet printer. I find it perfectly aceptable to print black only documents. But, sometimes I don't want to print a color document. (Yes I know, this has nothing to do with ebooks, blah blah blah.)
