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).
