Having looked at Onyx, I decided not to take the plunge due to the price and poor battery life. I could buy a new 7" ereader and 10" Android tablet for a similar amount of money as their 10" colour ereader.

As far as I'm concerned, the best part about the Kobo release is that they've set a price ceiling for everyone else releasing color e-readers. The next cheapest is like $80 more, than the Libra Colour, IIRC. It's not the most full featured reader, but the Clara Colour is one of the cheapest. If they can make it sell well, then eInk might actually be incentivized to produce better and more color technology eInk displays, which will get the market as a whole going.
