title_body: Is the Triton eInk display a viable option for future ereaders? The new Triton display by eInk Technologies allows eInk screens to display color. This would be very useful for features like images and highlighting. Is it a viable option for mainstream ereader displays? Specifically,
  
  
  Does it significantly lower battery life?
  Does it affect reading quality (e.g. blurrier or more artifacts)?
  Would it require too much of a price increase?
  
  
  An answer from someone who has an Ectaco Jetbook Color would be very helpful.
upvoted_answer: The Triton display is an E Ink display so it should greatly reduced power consumption when compared to a conventional LCD display. According to the E Ink website the Triton display has a similar crispness as an monochrome E Ink display. The price for the Ectaco Jetbook Color using this display is $499.95. However the price of future color E Ink displays could decrease.
