why would you put a color screen on a kindle for "illustrative purposes"? i thought b&w e-ink is so much better for reading and no one wants a color display on their e-raeder in the first place.

you tell me all the kindle-loving pundits were lying all the time, covertly hoping for a color screen but dismissing its relevance in public?

Sure, I'd be happy to enter my name, email address, residential address, phone number and complete date of birth. Where do I enter my social security number and mother's maiden name? I want to be sure it's complete!

Sheesh.
