> There are a few decent colour e-ink tablets on the market already, for surprisingly low prices ($400-500).

Which ones are you referring to? Are they complete and ready to ship products? Or is that a DIY project / kickstarter?

Yes, for example this one: https://onyxboox.com/boox_novaairc

Bought one of the monochrome Boox readers a while back and love it—the Google Play Books compatibility is what sold me.

I thought about splurging for a full-color model but wasn't sure whether the tech was there yet. Do you think it's worth the upgrade or should I hold off a little longer?

I compared the two in a store and color was not good. IMO if you want color just get a real tablet. Color e ink is the worst of LCD and e ink. It’s slow and ugly and eats battery life and hurts your eyes in the dark.
