Exactly.
I was watching the Que announcement with a lot of interest as I really need something to read and mark up PDfs of scholarly journal articles etc.
But if fell flat on features and price. E-ink is just too slow and clunky for mark up, for the flipping through pages to find info that's necessary in academic reading/document work.
Honestly, my K1 will probably be my last e-ink device. I just don't read enough, or for long enough stretches, to really care about the benefits of e-ink. The cons out way the pros for me as the eye strain, battery life etc. just don't matter if you're just reading for 30-60 minutes here and there.
