I bought the PocketBook Colour (6") device when it came out. The display is inferior to the later Kaleido ones. However, I use it as my main fiction reading device and am happy with the colours when reading graphic novels on it. Maybe it's because I'm a glass half full guy, and/or maybe because I find the static e-ink displays to be more restful on my brain than lcd screens, but I'm just grateful to have such a device. People like me may not be in the majority, but there are probably enough of us to make such devices profitable, despite their drawbacks.
I'm fine with Quoth rubbishing the colour e-ink displays every chance he gets; he is probably saving many people grief who might have ordered a device with one and then been really unhappy with it. It's definitely not technology that is ready for everyone, but it is ready for a few of us.
