I'm one of the "complicated" ones.

E-ink would be perfect if it wasn't so slow. Fast browsing through a book (or paging through it) is really not possible with E-ink and with academic books it is really a must - you're reading and you need to jump forward and back to remember what you were reading, to check cross-references etc.

All glowing screens are a compromise, but so far only the glowing ones can offer decent speed.
