Personal preference?
Someone likes red, someone likes blue.
If you like red and get pissed off that someone else dismisses beauty of red colour and likes blue....you have got a problem. Intolerance? Anger management?

I, personally, don't care one bit whether someone likes to read off of LCD.
I just dismiss any LCD screen based gadget as potential ebook reader. It is my opinion.
A friend of mine said once that he will never pay more £100 for ebook reader. He believed it was not worth more. At the same time I paid £250 for PRS-500 and £220 for PRS-505. Utter disrespect to ebook readers and eInk technology! He was reading off of his palm/laptop/mobile phone. Should I have challenged him to a duel?
