Hey, please forgive me; I do realise that there are avid bookworms out there who do also want colour newspaper and magazines and documents on the train to work, so this ain't meant as a dig. Just that I don't want to see a hike in reader prices when the competition decides to chase colour.

Keep in mind this would be useful for simpler things too, like Bibles where the words of Jesus are in red letters (and books with similarly limited colour use), for viewing scanned Medieval Codices, et cetera.

I'm not interested in magazines either, but colour for the above purposes would be a boon to me.
