Perhaps if you look at only that one snippet of what I said, however if you examine the entirety of my post the various companies are likely weighing the cost of creating the device, knowing they'll need to match the quality out there now, and the reward from doing so given the current market.
Ereaders offered a boon of features that were not available in print books. Notably that you can carry around many more books, make notes and highlights without damaging the book, not to mention less storage space, to name just a few.
Color eink would have some benefits for a smaller demographic within the ereader audience but those benefits can be achieved with tablets, which are much cheaper now than they were when eink devices were first hitting the market.
