I have InkPad Color 3 and Clara Colour. I have done quite a bit of B&W reading on them, and will continue to do so. I don't feel like it is compromised, or at least not so noticeable that I would read on a different device. So to me having color is an overall plus, and is a feature I will want on any future e-reader.

My main complaint about both is that they have not put enough thought into reading of fixed layout content, and in particular support for facing pages in landscape. Spreads are meant to be viewed as they were designed, not cut in half. Kindles all support this, and of course have panel view as well.

They could do something as simple as an option to display spreads (when one is encountered) rotated 90 degrees while remaining in portrait orientation. Instead they get shrunk and occupy half of the screen. Dumb.

Manga work pretty well in facing page mode even on 6" display. I feel I'm missing something if I can't see spreads 'whole'.
