I disagree.
The people currently buying mainstream eInk devices are using them to read normal books, which gain almost nothing from colour.
And a significant factor in eInk readers becoming mainstream was them becoming cheap. Colour would add a lot of cost for not much functionality for most users.
If in 5-10 years time colour has become cheap enough that it is adding only a small amount to the cost, it might become mainstream.
