There's no reason (aside from financial) to choose one instead of the other. Get both.
I read my Touch in the sun yesterday, and it was fine. Much better than any previous LCD device in that regard. I would say in bright sunlight, it is maybe 10% less legible than it is otherwise. I hardly notice it.
The e-ink devices actually get BETTER the brighter the ambient light is.
When someone says they're sitting in their garden, I always have to check their location. In the US, we would say 'lawn' or 'yard.' If someone says it in the US, it means they're sitting where their vegetables or roses are growing, and that seems a little odd. Does anyone actually read in a garden? Just curious.
