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.

You haven't given solid evidence other than your opinion that the majority of people using eink prefer that technology. Until you do, your opinion is your opinion and my statement is not BS. It may even be true that the majority of this site prefers eink, or not, but there isn't even any conclusive evidence of that. I'm glad you raised the point that the eyestrain issue is a marketing ploy though.
Also, your comment about the iPad's success as a reader is definately BS. Just go to the Apple forum here and see for yourself. The main drawback people have with the iPad as a reader isn't the screen technology as you try to make it out to be, but the weight, size, and mostly price. Get your facts straight.
