It's still my "point of view" because it's true for me. I even have issues with some front-lit E-Ink readers.

It's far more expensive, and a LOT worse color than what the rest of the world has been enjoying for decades.
I'm not particularly interested in a color E-Ink reader, but it might be nice when displaying the covers. For me that's about all I would use it for.

It's a real thing. But I realize I'm in the minority and don't say foolish things like "science tells us that reading on LCD will harm your eyes".
I don't know if it will harm my eyes. I just know it's uncomfortable for me to read on an LCD screen and that I don't last long when trying to read on a tablet or a smartphone.

I haven't personally held a color E-Ink reader, so I have no idea what I would think of one if I did. I'm guessing it would just be a novelty for me.
