Even though he knows that color e-ink is years off and the technology isn't there.

Why does most of the media have insane demands that border on fantasy when it comes to e-readers?
Actually it could be done with severe compromises- a pixel-qi screen, but much heavier, with shorter battery life and at an exorbitant price - hardly the substitute for a book/magazine.

You just can't have everything right now. That's the attitude that caused the new depression.
