Of course, high end e-ink will be replaced by a suitable color technology (perhaps even color e-ink) in the next few years. But the reader for $50 with gray scale screen will be swamping the novel reader markets. And e-ink is taking over some other usages, for signs and inventory tags, for example. Signs that only need power when the message changes. You can have a separate device that is attached only when you want to change.
