For me, on the contrary, colour is important in novels. And that is the main reason why I have colour e-readers (although I admit that it is a very particular use of colour).

IMHO, that's meaningless. You really don't need cover for a chapter title and a drop-cap.

I recently reread “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown. It was the illustrated edition so I read it on my Colorsoft. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Granted, illustrated novels are pretty rare but I love seeing my covers in color. To each his own.

What is neither necessary nor important is to give an explanation about the personal use of colour in the interior of books. Let us just say that reading a novel on a colour e-reader is perfectly legible and aesthetically pleasing to me, with various touches of colour. Our aesthetic tastes do not need to coincide.

I won't need or want a color eReader for novels. I would rather manufacturers concentrated on making black and white screens sharper and sharper.

That said, I agree it's a personal choice.

As I have told you before. You just need to be smarter than the ereader. I have carried mine in my back pocket since my PRS-300 days 16 years ago. It is a non-issue. A larger one on the other hand, does not work as well for me since I travel extensively for work, and have limited space for the ereader.
