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.

This would be the ideal scenario, yes. I was surprised at the price of the new colour Kobo models and if the 7" reader was big enough I'd be pre-ordering immediately.

I confess I haven't looked at the Onyx greyscale devices, just the colour.
I'm being the kind of stubborn that comes with age with my ereader requirements now that Kobo have brought colour into the mix as a serious contender
I want a minimum 10" colour screen, world class battery life, no ghosting issues, excellent file format compatibility, fast CPU, cheap stylus (looking at you, Kobo!!), comprehensive note taking, much better PDF handling and one or two other features that probably won't happen before I reach retirement age
