For e-book novel reading, e-ink is the only way.
No, YOUR taste is wrong!

For better or worse, most ereading is happening on LCD devices, a trend that will only grow with tablets proliferating. The aesthetics of the two displays are very much a matter of personal taste. For many people, backlights are a large part of the appeal of ereading vs. paper. It was the first thing I heard from both my mom and my sister when they started ereading on phones: oh, I can read in bed without a light.

I wouldn't mind having an eink device around as a backup, but that's what it would be--my reader of last resort.
