I'm not understanding this "true black" argument that is being put forth. eInk is rendered with 16 shades of gray (honest! check the Kindle wiki!) and LCD is rendered with colors combined to form black. That's......how colors work.
I like eInk for day reading (particularly outdoors, but anywhere is fine) and LCD for night reading. I do think it's the sharper, clearer option for low light environments. I also tend to go with a smaller font size on LCD than with eInk. Not sure if that's meaningful or not....
I love both my eInk and my LCD readers; they're different tools for different environments, imho.
