Nook Color pixel density = 169 PPI
e-ink Nook pixel density = 167 PPI
So I stand corrected practically if not technically, that isn't going to be a noticable difference. However with the 1.5 update the e-ink Nook font is certainly not smooth, it is rather blocky. Your sony is 200 PPI but that is not what I was comparing.
Yes, the Nook Color is not good in bright light. I was making an assumption that you would understand that my reading is mostly at night in dim lighting. Also it is not perfect and in fact I stated I prefer the look of e-ink. I am saying that in my opinion and for my reading habits it is well worth the extra money over the e-ink Nook.
My other points are directly related to the study that jocampo posted and what it stated as the causes for fatigue. Unless you can provide a comparison of large company employees reading off of e-ink monitors (which I don't believe even exist) vs lcd with the same PPI, your example doesn't really show anything. Your personal experience is your personal experience and I won't dispute that BUT again you are not comparing the same devices as I was.
I guess my point is that I am simply attempting to explain why people may have different experiences based on the studies, medical science, and facts available rather than the subjective opinions, assumptions, and conjecture that most people are using.
