I also don't need color, but I need as good an eink screen as possible, as my eyes tire easily. The current Kaleido tech is not good enough for me, the screen is too dark in bright light (I sometimes use my Libra 2 with the frontlight at 70-80%, to get the screen white enough for me). If something happened to my Libra 2, there would be no replacement device for me. Of course it bothers me. I don't want a color ereader with a darker screen than my current Libra 2, as I couldn't read on it on a bright summer day.
Different people have different needs, and Kaleido screens don't suit everyone. That doesn't mean people who want b/w are just whiners and luddites. Kaleido isn't as good for b/w text for some folks and that's a fact.
