The Paperwhite can be purchased for less than $100 if you watch for sales. Today AAMOF, it can be had for $84.99.
Various companies have been promising good color e-ink since I bought my first Kindle in 2009. If and when it does come to market on a large scale, it won't change anything, because it will remain a niche product, expensive, and a novelty. Those users, like me, who want color for magazines and some books, will keep using a tablet or smart phone. Because when it comes to color, e-ink can't come close to being good enough to justify another expensive device.
But under $100 e-readers are easily had right now, and other than perhaps speed, don't need much to make them superior to where they are already. There is always room for improvement on function, more intuitive menus, better font handling, etc. But for users who want to read, the choices are good and affordable already.
