    I’ve had a Libra 2 for almost 2 years now and just yesterday I was thinking “it still looks great!”. I don’t feel the need to upgrade and colour isn’t a must for me, so I’ll just wait for a couple of generations until the colour technology is more mature and they add some kind of feature my Libra 2 doesn’t have besides that.

      Yeah, sadly a good color e-ink screens seems like one of those techs that is always a couple years away. It seems like maybe the demand just isn’t there for R&D with everyone having large form factor phones these days.

        Sorry, I haven’t made the jump into an e reader of my own yet, so I may be missing something, but could the same not be said for phones and B&W e readers? Phones can basically do everything an e reader can on its face, but there’s still a niche to be filled by e readers, so I’m not sure lack of demand would exactly be the problem?

        I thought e ink was just in patent hell with only one company developing it and charging high fees on everything they can related to it and they aren’t that good at r&d but they are good at milking something for all its worth
