Yeah, I know, I know, "e-ink is soooo nice..."

Actually, I have managed to check out the Sony, and I don't have anything bad to say about e-ink. If the Sony was cheaper, and e-books from any store could be read on it, I'd have one at home right now.

I'm just saying that, right now, I read on LCD screens (my PC, my laptop, and my PDA) all day long, with no fatigue or eyestrain. And there are others who have similar experiences with LCDs, they're not optical death-dealers for everybody! In fact, I've had more trouble reading glossy magazines in bad light situations, you might as well say they are worse than LCD.

That's why, as nice as e-ink is, I'd rather focus on the e-books themselves, their formats and delivery systems, and not worry about the hardware so much. Who cares if e-ink is the greatest thing since sliced bread, if you can't get a book to read on it?
