That's the safe thing to do, but I could see it going either way in the future. Now that the tech is there regardless how primitive and in a somewhat reasonable price frame, the hardest part (that took a decade) is over. I think it's inevitable Kindle will try a colour device now, but I'm not sure if it will be soon or until the tech improves even more.
If Onyx didn't have a sold-out version at the moment that I think I'd slightly prefer, I probably would've already bought the Pocketbook Colour. I really want a colour e-ink device. There's a small chance my enthusiasm could wane before I order, but I've been wanting this for years and this was the main ereader improvement I've been hoping for so I don't think. Right now for me, it's a question of if more pieces of the Onyx Boox Colour become available before I decide I don't want to wait anymore and order the Pocketbook instead. Or, if reviews of the Onyx come in that are too negative then that could sway me the other way as well since so far those with the Pocketbook seem happy enough.
