The color one is kinda out of the question because they would probably have to provide a backlight for users to read the text. They were trying to get away from doing that because it is the reason many people can’t stare at a computer monitor for a long length of time.

It's a bit pricey, and since there's nothing anybody could do, at least Sony could have made it in color. Or made 2 versions- one cheaper version in black and white, one $350 in color. Call me old-fashioned, but I would rather sit down with a book that have that tablet PC/ PDA thing to read a book. :D That looks like an oversized PDA.

However, the price of it AND the fact it is from Sony will probably put me off to it. I also would like to see colr instead of just black & white (so to speak).
