I have an iPad3 and various e-ink devices.

Yes, the difference is huge. I can see why it would be subjective... so I guess I should only speak for myself... but there is just no comparison. I work long hours in front of a PC and, when I get home in the evening, I like to read. With tired eyes, reading on an iPad is painful. Just painful.

But it does depend on how tired I am. Early in the day, I prefer reading on e-ink, but it's not a massive difference. The more tired I get, the more it matters.
