I own a Sony 505 and just got a Nook Color yesterday - before I got my Sony I had a Palm T|X and before that an old Compaq iPaq.

I've read hundreds if not thousands of books on LCD screens (I got the iPaq years before I got my Sony), and a good couple of hundred on EInk. Maybe there's something weird about my eyes, but I can and do read on either technology.

EInk is great for long sessions - it's easy on the eyes and the battery lasts much longer.

The NC is better in low light, and if I'm reading comics or other graphic material.

Given a choice, I'd go with both. (Oh right, I did.)
