I recently bought a Boox Tab Mini C - an "open box" one from eBay that saved me about $50. Color Eink was a curiosity to me, but color was not the main reason why I bought this device. If you compare it to the closest non-color device that Onyx has - the Nova Air 2 - then for $100 more you get 1 GB more of RAM, twice the internal storage, a battery with 2.5x the capacity, a better CPU, and - oh yes - color.

That said, I find the color a nice touch (I think of the colors as pastels) as long as you don't expect too much. But this device has a lot more going for it than color alone.
