For me, an eInk display absolutely "wipes the floor" with any LCD screen, and I say that after reading on LCD screens for 20-odd years. I'd never go back to an LCD display for book reading.

Hi Ya Harry,
Actually, yeah I did have a chance, totally by accident, to compare a Sony 505 with the N800. But under indoor lighting even thought the lighting was very good and not dim at all. Here is the thread I posted about the experience:

I WANT an eink based device for exactly the same reasons you mention. After 20+ years of LCD displays and heck the 5-years with my Compaq, ahem, portable with the built-in 9" green CRT by itself, the eyeballs surely could use a break. But right now for me personally, under the conditions I would normally read, eink is just not right for me. Next year, maybe, hopefully, this will change.
You know how it goes, early LCD were TEEEEEENY and super hard on the eyes. But as I mentioned for me my eyes don't like the eink displays...dang it anyway. I look at it this way, I get to save more to buy something super tricked out next year when some yet to be seen tech comes along to make the difference.
