I'm not so sure about that. E-ink works best for displaying books (there's a reason the e-ink web browsing experience is awful). Books for the most part do not require color.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love a color e-ink device to read comics on. But I don't see the world beating down the door of a color e-ink device manufacturer. Serious comic readers (those that would buy a separate device to read them on rather than just using their tablet) are so miniscule a niche that it makes e-ink devotees seem like a vast horde.

I think a flexible e-ink display would be neat. But it would be neat the same way the Fire Phone's 3D screen is neat.
