Clearly color e-readers are the trend.Every major company is producing them nowadays. Still I myself hesitate about the added value of color e-readers. Of course I see the advantage when reading illustrated books or comcis, but the majority of books I read are plain text. My Kobo Forma is perfectly capable of giving me an outstanding reading experience. I wouldn't be surprised if I am not the only one in this. At the same time, do not think that I imply that this trend is nonsense. On the contrary. I love technology and developing new technoly like color displays is as it should be. Always go forward. There will be a great market for color e-readers, I'm sure, but I do hope the companies keep developing the good old B/W e-readers as well.
What do you think?
