This is true, but pretty much only when color has feature parity with monochrome. When I bought my first computer, for example (1987), monochrome monitors were still more popular for academic or business purposes than color because the monochrome monitors could display 80 characters on a line (about the right width for typewriting on a normal sheet of paper); color monitors could only display 40 characters. It wasn't until color monitors became otherwise as good as monochrome monitors *and* could display color that they pushed the monochrome monitors out of the market.

I realize that many would find a mirasol color display device to be a better eReader rather than a tablet. Whether I would, I don't know for sure. Not being a particularly visually-oriented person, I doubt it.

If it were otherwise as good as an e-ink screen and the color was good (and the cost was similar), I'd probably get one. But I wouldn't pay too much extra for one.
