The only thing to watch out for on AMOLED screens is if they have the pentile pixel matrix. That can make text look fuzzy. I believe screens labelled "Super AMOLED" (Samsung Infuse 4G) have a regular pixel matrix, while screens labelled just plain "AMOLED" (Nexus One, HTC Incredible) have a pentile pixel matrix.

Also, since AMOLED only lights up pixels that are on, reading white-on-black makes the battery last much longer.
