Yep, I couldn't see wanting a monitor with color like that shown in the video. Be rather useless for image editing, which I do a lot of.
Only if they could develop this to be equivalent to the 16 million color displays would it likely appeal to the average person, because that's the kind of color the average person is used to and wants to see now. Very few would pay for lackluster color simply because their battery charge would last longer.
There are plenty of people who find e-ink easier on the eyes for extended use, I'm one of them. *IF* the technology could be brought to be the equivalent of modern color displays, I'd be HIGHLY interested. Until then, not so much. The truth is that, other than the cover, most books I read don't need or use color. Those that do, such as illustrated cookbooks or art books, I can use on a tablet or at least use a tablet to see the color content, then go back to e-ink for the text.
