Okay, eink is really really good at two things: reading and taking notes/drawing.
Comics are a form of reading (especially french comics i read, theyre 50% text).
You highlight parts of books.
And for taking notes, say in class, is much nicer when you have color avilable
Hard disagree, e-ink is fantastic for two thing, reading and battery life. Everything interactive, you're better off with a tablet.
We both mentioned it separarely. And for a good reason imo, traditional books are a much better fit for e-readers because reflowing text just werks while comics are going to be a lot harder.
Note that the usual responsiveness problems dont apply when you use a pen to take notes, as the pen just directly pulls up the ink pellets in the screen.
