@matt. For what this thing costs, I should be able to use it for more than just reading a black and white book. Remember when the iPod didn't have video and Jobs said that people didn't watch videos on their portable players. Then he felt the pressure and now all iPods play videos and iTunes has sold millions of videos. Same thing here with the Kindle. I want my $250 investment do to more than just show me black and white graphics. Give me the ability to look at my pictures in color as well. Why not? $250 it still $250. And $250 it still a lot of money.
Have you ever driven to the library, only to find that the book you want is not there? Not with Kindle. You can even review the book when you want to...for free. No gas, no tolls, no problem. Buy one if you like to read, or go to the library and come home empty handed and a few dollars short.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
It still too expensive. Give me a color screen and a lower price, then I'd consider it. Borrowing books from my public library is much cheaper.
Why do you need colour? Print is Black and white.....
Unless you want a picturebook :)
same, and i think this would get a larger audience if it had color. i think comic fans would love this, as i would as well.

Low-priced color e-ink just isn't a realistic expectation. Give it 3 years then maybe, but not before that.
