If color doesn't interest you, and it doesn't interest me, it's hard to see what could be done to improve a lighted e-ink display. i don't read paper books anymore but I did buy a couple of used ones because there was no other way to get those old books. They came in excellent condition although the paper is very slightly yellowed. Emphasis on "slightly". I haven't read them yet but I have compared them to my Voyage and the Voyage looks a lot better.
Given that mono e-ink is already as good or better than paper, and given that e-ink devices aren't particularly big sellers these days, I don't see where they'll be very motivated to spend a lot of money improving it. And I find it hard to care.
Maybe if the signage thing takes off that'll change. But at the moment I suspect e-ink is just what it is.
