The relevance of color depends on the price. The Fujitsu Flepia ( http://tinyurl.com/cl2so3) is the first color e-ink reader available now and it retails for 99,750 yen or US$1110.
The color in this demo looks, well dull ( http://tinyurl.com/ykz5t6y). So the question is whether you would pay double the price of a Kindle DX for dull weird color that you would not need for fiction, and could live without for non-fiction. |
FYI the Flepia is kinda old news around here...the first thread I found searching titles only was from 2008...and here is the most recent:

And yeah, the colors look to be washed out...that will change within a year, if not from Fujitsu then PL or another player like even Samsung (a stealth player I suspect in the whole area of epaper panels...it is a direct competition with their DLP LED based TV's and the new lower power LED TV's...so they have a HUGE interest in this tech and it won't be long before one of the current companies is bought out by Sony, Samsung or other big corp...)
DLP LED TV's...
