It's already been beaten to death on this forum that for simple reading some folks like LCD better or as well as e-ink, and some feel the opposite. So why continue to argue about it??

As far as the article, it states pretty clearly:

"Because it's a high-contrast medium, e-ink is great for presenting basic text on a page. But it's poor at displaying pictures and, at least in its current state of development, can't refresh quickly enough to present videos.
...
"That's not a problem if all you plan to read on an e-reader are novels. But the Kindle and other e-ink devices are ill-suited for displaying illustrated children's books and nonfiction titles with full-color pictures, not to mention magazines, newspapers or Web pages."

That's a fair and accurate discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each technology. That's how you can compare e-ink and LCD, and is a valid thing to do, IMHO.
