Rather than seeing it as B&W vs. color, see it as a matter of how and what you 
read.

Just for reference, I own a Kindle DX, an iRex iLiad, and more LCD-based 
devices than most can shake a stick at, including a Nokia 770 and an 800, 
several Newton devices, iPod Touch, Droid Incredible, and others.

If you're mostly going to read for reading -- novels and such -- then e-Ink is 
vastly superior.  It is, as they say, much like paper, without the glare of a 
self-illuminated display.  Much easier reading, much less eye strain.  e-Ink 
also looks great in bright sunlight; LCDs not so much, not even the rilly nice 
ones that Apple uses.  If, however, you'll be perusing technical manuals and 
such, more skimming and flipping back and forth, then the LCD-based devices are 
going to work out better for you.
