The article doesn't say if it's e-ink, but it looks like it could be judging from the picture. The screen has that same grey background. The colors don't look very vibrant. I'm not sure if it's the screen or the colors they chose. Either way, this is great news for anyone who reads ebooks-- no matter which reader they choose.
$1000. Ouch. At that price it's still probably safe to say that color ebook readers are a few years away from being generally accessible to consumers.
I'd really like to see the Kindle Store open up to other readers and see competitors to the Kindle Store open up as well. For me, that's the killer feature on the Kindle. It would be really great if I could choose from a few readers when the time comes to upgrade my Kindle and still be able to reader what I've already purchased and continue to buy from Amazon.
