This is BS. The fact is that *everyone* who reads on an e-ink screen has also read on an LCD screen. And the vast majority of them prefer the e-ink screen. Not because they have been misled, and not because they had no choice - but because they can see the difference with their own eyes. No pun intended.
Yeah, the iPad was supposed to kill e-ink readers. Yet for some reason it did not, with Kindles *still* selling in huge volumes, and with many people having both. The iPad has been quite successful as a tablet, but not successful at all as an e-reader. The evidence seems to be that most people just prefer e-ink.
You can, of course, continue to pretend that the e-ink preference is solely because people have been brainwashed by the vast e-ink marketing conspiracy (yeah, right), despite the fact that they have *all* read on LCD screens.
But don't expect anyone who has used an e-reader to actually believe this.
