It's a step sideways, not forward: In some respects it's better, it's able to display more information, and it can convey certain kinds of information better. But in other respects it's worse, for example, it's much less readable in bright light.

And color LCD displays typically draw considerably more current lowering batter life. I admit that battery life is always an issue with large graphics displays anyway, but color seems to compound the problem. As a case in point compare the battery
life of the Kindle (Months of reading time - monochrome) with the Kindle Fire (6-8 hours max reading time - color).
