Colour is of limited use for fiction reading - most books are very successfully printed in B&W. There are certainly good uses for colour, but a much lower resolution screen would be too high a price to pay for for me personally.
Agreed. In fact I had a paperwhite monochrome monitor for my PC well into the VGA days. I only added color to my PC when the affordable resolution got to ~1280 x 1024. Before then b+w was a lot easier on the eyes (and the cashbox.)
