No, it doesnt. Thats due to the eink technology.

It boasts a revolutionary e-paper screen. What does this mean? Why is it better than the screen on my PalmTX?

Well, you have to see it, to really beleive it. But it is almost like paper. You can read it from any angle and in bright sunlight. You will need a seperate light source though to read in very dim lighting conditions (as with paper). The contrast is not as good as normal paper yet, but still astonishing.

Why no color? I buy alot of computer manuals in pdf format and some of them are in color. And why would I put pictures on this is there is no color.I think that is it for now. I may have more questions later.

The technology works with black and white capsules with differend charges in a liquid container. Color is possible, but still experimental and very expensive with low reolution. But what i have seen, looks very promising. But my guess is, that it will take at least 5 years to the market.
If you like to read, and have had problems reading in bright environments, then you will love the display of the reader.
