As for the "popularity" of color eReaders, it's kind of hard to gauge when Kobo doesn't offer the BW version of a Libra (for example). If you want a 7" Kobo eReader you have no choice — it's color or nothing.

Honest to God some people just like to nitpick and argue.
I am reading and typing this from my pc. and I'm typing black characters in a white box surrounded by emojis that are different colors and also blues, white and greys.
The device you read on is probably black or white, or it might be covered in a colored cover.
What is the most important feature of any device you read on whether color or not, is the contrast. Which is why they started putting lights in readers since the grey scale in the original ones were simply awful to read indoors without a light on, and not everyone likes or wants to read outdoors.
I spend a great deal of time reading on my phone just fine while commuting. I'm glad that the technology has improved that as the lighting conditions change as I'm riding along, the screen adapts accordingly.
If you want to cling to your "black & white" knock yourselves out! But choice is good and the more choices we have the better off we are. But your choice is not the be all to end all and is not the only choice to make.
