    The point of no color was so your eyes don’t strain

    My God people are e daft

      I don’t think this is true. The reason for no colour is because they use e-ink displays which are expensive anyway, but become even more expensive once you add colour.

      And some people don’t think before they comment.

      Wrong. No color was because technology wasn’t there yet.

      @@thedude8128 I hate to pile on. I could be wrong here. But, I thought reduced power consumption and cheaper manufacturing cost were the big reasons e-ink is used. After that I thought it was the lack of burn in potential or something.

      You don’t often want E-ink over a more standard display. There are a LOT of stores that use E-ink displays for price tags and signs. This accounts for a very large percentage of e-ink screens.

      There are now phones using e-ink displays specifically for lowest cost to produce and longer battery life.

      Originally e-ink displays couldn’t really do color. The point wasn’t to reduce eye strain (as far as I’m aware) it was a tech limitation. And, the fact that it was better to read from something that wasn’t blasting your eyes with light made it easier to read for longer was just an accidental benefit.

    I can pay extra to see a color cover to then read black letters on a white page? That’s amazing!

      There are a ton of books with illustrations, reading LOTR illustrated by Allan Lee right now. Also children’s books, textbooks, comic books, manga. Maybe you wouldn’t use it, that’s what the cheaper one is for.

      Isn’t that pretty much the same as a regular book?

    Funny it looks exactly like what I pictured the color to be ???? I can’t wait! Mines preordered ????????

    Really excited over this the colors look good in the video. But I’m still leaning towards B751c so I don’t get locked in the amazon ecosystem and I can live out my childhood dream of playing Galaga on an e-ink display lol
