For some eInk is the only viable technology for reading. They can't read on a phone or a tablet because it hurts their eyes.
There was a time when many here argued that the "can't read on a tablet" was the actual norm. Tablets were new and eInk already established. Surely, eInk would remain top dog because "reading on a tablet was harmful to people's eyes".
It was nonsense, but it had quite the fan base here.
Then there was the "color eInk is here!" phase. Time and again it was debated and those who rightly pointed out "there's no market for his tech" were met with scorn.
But now - after all these years...a true "color eInk has arrived". So long that, apparently, no one seems to remember the earlier discussions.
So now, we have this really mediocre color experience available for those who can't read on a tablet or who just prefer eInk.
Let's get out the popcorn and see hot "like hot cakes" these long demanded devices fare in the market.
If the premium over black and white eInk is minimal enough, then they will replace b&w eInk .
Tablets and smart phones will continue to be the vastly dominant platform for reading because, after all, very few people actually have a problem reading on them.
