I read on both eink and LCD. For me a good eink screen should have a good contrast like the pearl screen. For LCD, I read on my Tab 8.9. First thing I do was to put a matte screen protector to reduce the reflection.

In my experience a highly reflective screen will tired my eyes easily because I have to increase the brightness to compensate the reflection. With a matte screen I can read for hours in LCD screen.
