I’d love my Remarkable or Oasis to be in color. I’ve used my Remarkable almost daily since I’ve received it and Oasis several times a week for years. Color on either or both would be great.
Even in color, eink devices have largely never been portrayed as an ipad replacement given their largely different use cases. It’s sounding to me like you don’t like your devices in favor of either an ipad or paper book, and while that’s okay, it doesn’t mean there’s no market for a color device.

- dbpatterson 5y agoAt least for me, the main reason for the remarkable to exist is reading scientific papers -- not having to print them out (and keep track of them) is a great benefit, but sometimes color is an important part of them. As a device for _writing_, I don't miss color at all, but for reading / annotating, it would make a big difference.

They're expensive though. More so than an iPad, and it technically does less despite being Android underneath, just due to the limitations of the tech itself.
