I don't think the color adds much to the education; pictures are certainly nice, but the history, literature, ... books in my college classes were mostly text, perhaps with a few diagrams where color would make little difference.

That being said, I wonder why these reviewers, particularly when talking about using Kindles for education or reference never mention the biggest drawback: the Kindle books are not searchable. I.e. they don't have software that lets you search for a phrase. Weird, huh?
