That is one of the most significant features, though. I have to charge my Nexus every day, or every other day. My e-ink devices need to be re-charged perhaps once a month. It may not be enough for you, and I usually don't have issues with re-charging my tablet daily either, but I feel that for many people that is a decisive advantage of e-ink devices.
While I do enjoy reading on my Nexus 7 and feel that it is the first LCD tablet that I can read comfortably on, the e-ink devices still offer a superior reading experience to me. It's more paper-like, and they offer much less distraction.
I do agree that e-ink development is lacking a little in pace, but my desire for new toys aside and looked at the situation realistically, just for reading novels the current e-ink devices offer everything I need.
