I agree that color use cases really match much better with a larger, magazine or comic, sized tablet.
Amazon's 10" Fire tablet is $139. Cheaper than these color eInk 7" devices. I don't think price is going to work in the eInk's favor.
Light weight is certainly an advantage of eInk. People mention batter life, but I don't think that's as much of a factor, truly. It's a talking point, but you simply charge your tablet over night, it's not a big deal.
You are also hitting the mark about a single use device. That cuts both ways. Some like a device that's only for reading. Me, if I love that I can watch movies, and engage in social media etc. AND read books and magazines.
Reading outside is another great advantage. I'd rather take an eInk to the beach. Not that I go to the beach that often.
