I'd still like one, but I'm not holding my breath. I used to want one for integration with the internet as well as being an e-reader (think reading longer articles on webpages, how much nicer it'd be on e-ink). But I gave up that dream a long time ago because internet connectivity or rather internet power and speed on e-readers will never be good enough for it. Also, now I've settled into the pretty Kindle walled garden and I'm happy with the birds, flowers and fountains here, so even if colour e-ink does come I'll probably have to wait until Amazon adopts it.
There are still some things I'd like colour for specifically. First, it'd mean we could customise our reading experience a little better with background and text colour similar to phone/tablet reading apps. Second, we could see colour book covers which, while not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, would just make things so much nicer. We who spend a lot of time reading on e-ink see those covers a lot. Third, things like coloured photos, illustrations, maps, etc. included in some ebooks (especially non-fiction) would be so much nicer to look at in colour. And finally, I do read the odd graphic novel and would like the option to read them in colour on my ereader.
