The more I see of the current colour screens available, the less inclined I am to get one. Although I'm very partial to the retro muted colours, most of my reading is still in black and white. And although I enjoy manga, I suppose I don't read enough of it to make the current colour screens a necessity.

I'm very glad that they are marketing such devices commercially now as I hope that will drive innovation in this field. However, the current implementations seem very underwhelming. Perhaps if I were to experience such devices firsthand, they might be more compelling. But the current video reviews don't impress me.

As for Google Play, I have learned to live quite happily without it on my A5. Sideloading the apps I need has proved quite easy.
