Only resolution-wise. If you leave the reader in black-on-white mode with brightness cranked up it's obviously not going to be a great experience.

I love reading on my phone (480x800 4.3" device, so equivalent to many Android devices), yet I hate reading on my Touchpad or my wife's iPad 1. But then I was perfectly comfortable reading on my old iPhone 3GS, so obviously I have magic eyes.

But I always read white-on-black, with the brightness adjusted correctly for the ambient lighting (dim when it's dark, brighter when it's not). If I thought my only option was to read black-on-white with high brightness, I'd hate LCD readers myself.
