Barnes & Noble has confirmed that a colour eBook reader will be forthcoming in Spring next year. This should give rise to downloadable comics and other media that really does need colour to come up to the paper standard. However, don’t forget that if you live outside the USA you won’t be able to buy many books for it- oops sorry, there I go again…
“A Barnes & Noble spokesperson has claimed that Plastic Logic will deliver a colour eBook reader to market in “Spring next year.”
Colour is the next evolutionary step in the development of eBook readers, the majority of which currently only render in greyscale. Early colour models have yet to touch the mass market with Fujitsu’s Flepia only available in Japan for an eye-watering $1,000, and Bridgestone’s attempt still at the prototype stage.”
