The backlit black pixels, in my eyes, hurt more in pitch black room than using an external lamp to read my e-ink device.

A buddy of mine has a Touch 4 and I was blown away when I picked it up one day and just read a book he had on it. I actually could use it as an on the go reading device no problem. Now if the made a 5"-7" device using the same sort of high pixel density screens, tagged the Retina Display I understand, I might be won over to the iOS camp, at least for a small multi-purpose reader device.
Even so I did like that Touch a lot.
