I don't agree about the color either. Looking at color printouts don't give you the same feeling as a screen, so it isn't the color itself.

It is the brightness of the screen, with every pixel lit up, that is the difference. I think if there were color e-ink, it would be just fine and still help serve this same niche market.

It doesn't need to be full color even. Sixteen or sixty-four colors or so for maps, business graphics, headers, error indication, and syntax highlighting for programmers would be really nice. I'd have one screen a full-color LCD for when I need more than that, and do most of my editing and terminal work with a high resolution, less straining device.
