My verdict is--no, no and yet one more time No to LCD screen for book reading. Its light flickers just like any cheap LCD monitor. My experience tonight unquestionably proved my point of view on LCD screens. It is so unpleasant to eyes that I cannot even compare it with eInk. Different league.

Completely agree with you on the different league. But as Harry already mentioned (in another thread), if you primarily read in a light environment (which I presume your Tesco is...), e-ink is better. If you read mostly in a dark environment, backlit LCD could be better.
I am somebody who really loves reading from her backlit device, but I wouldn't want to do that in a supermarket. Too much surrounding light. However, did you take that Tab to a gloomy corner? Because that's where backlight comes in handy.
And I've never seen any LCD flicker... Only when it's not on its native resolution.
