I'm betting on a tie-up with the rugby team of the Cook Islands (TLD: .ck). Or possibly a Calvin Klein-branded special edition.

Colour e-ink screens are useful if you work with files that have graphs, charts, or figures. Even the washed-out shades that Kaleido screens currently provide are quite serviceable for that use-case. Boox's marketing for its color e-readers has more images of business-style uses than it does of manga or comics, and I've been tempted to buy one myself just to stop having to reach for a computer everytime I come across a chart in a file I'm reading. But I agree that a colour e-ink screen that is 7" or smaller would have too low a resolution to be of much use.
