As far as children are concerned with regard to color devices...
Children are really just miniature inebriated demolition teams. A $4 book that can be chewed on, drooled on, spilled on, torn, thrown, creased, drawn on, and fairly easily recycled is actually pretty good technology.
I'm all for using technology in education...especially in special needs environments and with teenagers and adults...but a crappy ebook reader with a color screen is not really anything approaching an adequate replacement (or even supplement) for simple color books.
