The color reader looks good, but I think it's all about affordable content. I once had an Apple IIGS. Theoretically it was a great computer. Alas, the programs I wanted to use were all written for Windows. So far the content I want at the price I want to pay is mostly at Amazon.
The cost of the device is also an issue. Even though my Prius doubled my gas mileage, it will be a long long time before the gas saving make up for what I paid for the car. Likewise since I got my Kindle, I haven't saved money on books. I've just been able to read some best sellers sooner than I would have otherwise because normally I would have waiting until the paperback came out. So I'm really annoyed with publishers who think they can charge hardback prices for an ebook even after the paperback has come out.
