I do think epaper offers, among all the screen technologies presently available, the experience that most resembles reading a real paper book. And i think it is a great advantage.
You don't get eye strain reading a book as you do when you stare at a computer screen. I am sure whoever developed e-ink technology was very sure that this IS a issue with readers even before risking millions developing this technology, and that reading on a eink screen is much more comfortable.
Sales seem to confirm their assumption.
