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.
With possibilities like Pixel Qi, it's hard to imagine having to choose between one and the other. You get the speed, you get pretty power savings, you get reflective mode and backlighting...the only current problem I can see is if someone demands a different aspect ratio than what is presently available.
