As an avid reader and someone who still uses both traditional books and non-color eReaders, here are the main factors you should consider. There Are Limited E Ink/ePaper Options KED 44/Shutterstock/Amazon First things first, color eReaders are still in their infancy, so the market for them is notably limited compared to their grayscale counterparts.
