So I'd trade off the e-ink/e-paper reading benefit for getting the flexibility of being able to do lag free markup, quick page turns to skim through a document, internet, video etc. an LCD/LED display personally.

If you're a bookworm, read for hours on end, and have eye strain issues/need for super long batter life then my hypothetical tablet wouldn't be for you.
