There was definitely a time when I really wanted a color e-ink screen. But now, with iPads having 10 hour battery life, I can get all day performance and better colors and refresh rates from that device, so my desire for color e-ink has greatly declined.

I do love my b&w e-reader though and use it every day.

I mean, is 10 hours really that long? My SuperNote notebook lasts for days, my Kobo for weeks. I certainly have had flights longer than 10 hours. At least nowadays you sometimes have a USB-A charging port if you needed, or a 120V if you're lucky.
Idk about you, but I really really bad want to code outdoors, surrounded by nature.

I currently do that with an x260 but it's not cobfortable at all, no matter how much brightness and battery life you have.
