That and perhaps the size of the screen.

The next development in the e-ink department seems to be colour -- a short aricle on the tests made by De Tijd published by Swedish Newspaper's Publishers Association in March said that iRex planned a colour device, but that it wouldn't appear until next year at the earliest. The SNPA said in the same article that they would wait for a colour reader.

Anyway, a colour screen should probably fix any greyness problems remaining.
