I really think the whole lcd vs e-ink is subject to the user. It is true that for some people an lcd screen can cause issues for them. I get migraines if I look at an lcd screen for too long (like my computer screen), but for some reason I can read on my phone for hours. The only time it bothered me was if I already had a headache. Some people can really have serious problems with an lcd screen. Some people will never have those problems even if they read 12 hrs a day. It seems obvious to me that if you have problems with lcd screens you shouldn't get a reader with one. For others, it doesn't matter what they read off of so it comes down to their personal likes only.
As for lcd and outside, I agree with cutterjohn42 that lcd can be harder to read. There are some things you can do to help like anti-glare film, but it would not be as easy to read for me as an eink. Some people may find that there eyes can adjust and find it perfectly acceptable. Also, some people may never plan on reading outside as they may do mostly indoor or nighttime reading, so the point is moot.
So the whole lcd vs e-ink still comes down to personal health, taste, and needs. What works best for me isn't necessarily what works best for Joe Blow down the street.
