In an interview after the event, Mr. Bezos said black-and-white, paperlike screens for those who just want to read an old-fashioned book would be around for a long time to come.

“What you think of as a book today — the kind of linear narrative — that doesn’t go away,” Mr. Bezos said. “Linear storytelling — that, I think, is very deeply fundamental to the human brain, so technology doesn’t change that.”

with its new glowing screen and higher contrast, it can also be used for reading at night. For some, it might even replace the need to reach for an Apple iPad, or other brightly lit screen, when wanting to read in the dark.

It seems black and white e-readers are not a temporary product, eventually becoming color screens. Rather, they are a secondary device that will always have a home in the e-reader family.
