I think there's a difference between what readers want, and what the vocal, tech consumers the media focus on want. Most of the people who can't wait to get their hands on the iPad fall into that latter category. They want something that does everything, including reading books. People like me who read for hours at a time just want something that makes reading easy, comfortable, and convenient. I'm sticking with eink. Color eink sounds cool, but I don't need it.
To be honest, I have no desire for an iPad. It can't fit in my purse, and if I need a color screen, access to internet, email, etc. I have my laptop. Or my husband's iPad, which is small enough to carry around.
