Yes I been wanting a color ereader for a while now. Some manga have color covers for beginning of a chapter. Would like to see them in color. I also read graphic novels and comics. A color ereader would be perfect for Manga and graphic novels since they are around the same size as a Kindle. Comics however might not work as well because comics are bigger in size. Unless they come out with like a 8 inch reader.

My thoughts exactly.

I am not a "colour fanatic" in the manner of the people described here but I would welcome a colour e-ink reader as I read a fair amount of non-fiction with colour pictures; and I would like to see colour covers as I always use cover view. If it never happens, I will not be heart broken and it will not put me off e-ink Kindles, of which I am a great fan. But for me it would be an added bonus, if the technology and price are right.

The Oasis is such a good size for one handed reading and in bed that I am skeptical that a 8 inch reader would be so.  That said, I have 7" and 9" tablets I can use the few time I might need color for a book.

Yes, After reading the comments here, I can understand the need for color for certain reading materials and it would be nice to see the covers in color. I guess I was reacting to the attitude way back in 2008-2009 that criticized the new Kindle solely because it wasn't in color.

I must admit that I wouldn't mind seeing covers on my kindle in the colors they were born in . . . as they're shown here in my reading bar, for example . . . but I'm not sure I'd want to pay more for the privilege. And if the technology makes the B&W less crisp/contrasty, I think I'd not be in favor.

I agree, Ann, the actual reading experience would have to be the same or better. I wouldn't want to sacrifice any of that for color.

I also concur that they can have my crisp text when they pry it from my cold clammy fingers. And I wouldn't buy a color eInk reader with less-than-perfect text rendering just to have it for field guides.

I mostly read ebooks that don't have any pictures but I do browse the web alot and I also read digital magazines... if this 8 inch color Kindle could read digital magazines I could see possibly getting more into them and using the color Kindle for that. As for web browsing, if that was possible I could see definitely see the benefit of web browsing outdoors in the sun without glare... obviously videos would be impossible on an eink screen but I usually skip the videos that are embedded into articles anyway. So I guess my vote is: if it can read digital magazines, I'm in! And if it can web browse also, that's icing on the cake!!
