Maybe it could be like a cell phone deal, a deep discount for a 2 year subscriptions of several magazines.

I wouldn't expect too much from the colors though!

The whole point of eReaders is to make text look good. Colour and video may be desirable, but if they cause the text quality to be sacrificed then they're useless.
I'm sure there are several applications that can justify designing a very low-power mid-res display that can do video, but they don't include eReaders.

It IS a laptop LCD screen. But don't forget that in B&W mode these LCD's would have a resolution of about 2400x1280,which is more than adequate for reading ebooks.

(there's another thread about colors and pixels (used as B&W on a reflective background) too which I can't find right now..)
Also LCD screens do not give a good B&W ratio. Most of the text will be dark grey/green to dark yellow/light grey.
