I wouldn't go that far, but I can see how you feel that way for what you use it for. I would actually use an LCD device as a dedicated reader, but I'm a rare case. Most LCD folks are looking for a converging function. I don't want to do anything but read on my LCD reader, because I can do much more with the netbooks I have. I read in dark rooms a lot though, and a lot in bed. I've found that trying to use my Sony PRS-505 with a lamp is harder than using LCD, and my wife appreciates the light off as the LCD emits much less light. Plus, I actually do feel more strain to see my Sony in the dark than I do my LCD. This could be that I didn't have a good light to evenly light the surface of the screen, but you can see my point. I use black background and white text when reading in bed so it gives off very little light, just allowing me to see the text very clearly.
