I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

No, i think e-ink has it's place. But color e-ink is currently too much a tradeoff in everything else e-ink is strong, imo.

    How so? Color eink has pretty much zero tradeoffs as far as i can tell, other than price.

    Weak colors, so dark that you constantly need backlight...
