For me, the biggest drawback to LCD is the short battery life compared to eInk. If tablets refreshed even faster than 60Hz their battery life would be even shorter due to GPU and CPU load. I still do a lot of reading on my Nook though, because I can do so much more with it. I am still keeping a look out for a low power fast refresh color display like Mirasol in a reasonably priced e-reader.
