I suspect that people who find it acceptable to read books on a computer don't read many books. When it comes to reading, I'll take reflective text any day.

It depends on the device, screen, fonts and colors. My 770 has ~230 dpi and with black background and yellow-orange fonts is excellent for reading, I much prefer it to the Sony due to better ergonomics, being much faster and having a nicer reading experience than paper.
Now that I am using my Itouch for pdf reading I also prefer it to anything else for that task being amazingly fast and easy to navigate though it still has some limitations. It has a bit less dpi (I think around 200) than 770 and the screen is smaller so for reflowable text the 770 is better, but for pdf's nothing portable beats the for me the fast easy navigation of the iTouch.
