    Great first attempt at color for a reader

    I'm looking forward to seeing this in the stores. Owning a Sony Reader and an IPhone using Kindle as I do makes me a target customer of this kind of a device but at over $1000 though it just won't cut it to get color, even with those features. The cheaper alternative now for color is a Eee or Acer Aspire one netbook. Get that for about $300 and you can read 1/2million old books via google and newer ones via various book outlets on the net. The game will change when those guys make a similar device, that can also run Windows or OSX (hint hint Apple) at the price point that they can make the net books.

    How does it make the colour?

    I can see how the mono displays work - they flip the half black, half white micro beads.

    does this mean that there are three (or four) beads in a 'cell'? red, yellow, blue (black or green?)

    Very clever, tgho'

    What type of screen?

    So is this digital paper still or is it more of a standard LCD affair?

    The battery life is what makes it (and other eInk) products

    worth the money. Compare it with netbooks/laptops all you like, it won't make one whit of a difference: all it will do is make you look like a silly ass. Try a 40-hour-battery-life device sometime and then take up your netbook - I guarantee that you will be chucking latter boat anchor against the wall 2 hours later when its battery dies. PH 'cause even she could figure this out.
