Has anyone tried it? What do you think of it?

Interesting.

No, but I heard good things about it from people who have. I figure in a couple of generations down the line (along with the price drop) I'll get it, or whatever is better.

Full color e-ink already exists (in prototype form, not as a product). Expect in 2 or 3 generations for this to be integrated into mp3 players or laptops* and not as a standalone product.

* The OLPC X1 already has a dual screen setup with an e-ink screen for extended reading. That's quite far from this being standard on a normal laptop, but it's probably a sign of things to come.

We still need the standalone product because it's smaller, mre convenient, and more booklike.

That's the point of the kindle.

Exactly

I'm watching this more closely.

Sad.
