I first started on a Palm Pilot and progressed to Ipaqs and now to an Ipod Touch. The Ipod touch is great, very nice resolution, good size screen and a backlight. I can get 10 hours on the battery.
But the main reason I would never buy a Eink Device is that it wont go in my pocket and if I take it to bed with me it wont work if the lights out, which would upset my wife, who needs the light off.
I read on average 6 hours a day, and have never suffered any irritation using a small screen or backlight. Maybe a sore thumb from pressing a button ever three seconds. But in conclusion I am really happy with the touch for reading.
Cheers
