LCD does provide a true contrast ratio of White to Black, so Yes the letters are sharper and more crisp on an LCD than they are on an eink. Heck even a physical book that is printed on a white page is much sharper than eink.
Now I'm not going to get into the whole lcd vs eink debate. It's what works best for the individual, Neither you nor I can tell anyone which is the best. I for one , happen to like both.
And who reads with the lights off? I do as do other nook color or iPad or Xoom etc owners can and do.
Each tech has their own advantages and disadvantages.
But what is growing tiresome, is saying a device cant be an ereader unless it's eink. Pure and total nonsense and opinionated garbage.

You like polemic and arguing to whatever I said.
LCD display and devices does not provide true black. When you enlarge 100x or 1000x the image, you can see that it is not black really. The angle on an LCD device also affects this, because the same way the device works.
No one reads with the lights off, means (so you can understand) totally dark. Reading at bed is not dark, there is one light at least, and still you can use a lamp or even a Kindle light for that. Yes, you can use the LCD device but the light and lumens are higher, because they are coming from the device itself. Yes, you can change the setting, etc, etc, but still you will get more reflection about this.
There are tons of documents about why eink for non color books or pure text books, the letters are sharper and darker.
