I have an Ipad and Iphone 4. All loaded with books.
Great devices, but I like the e-ink better for long term reading. Reading on a lit screen, for me, is like looking into a flashlight to read the black print. No matter what I set the background colors for, after about 1 1/2 to 2 hours my eyes are done. Love them for small trips, out and about, but not for casual-at-home-at-night reading.
My daughter just bought herself a Sony, because she found she had the same problem reading on her Android phone a strain for long hours. And her eyes are a lot younger! lol.
Same for my Ipad. I just don't reach for it to read on anymore. But it's great for weather reports, news and games, but nothing too long term for me.
