I read on both the Nexus 7.2 (the first LCD device I feel comfortable reading books on) and the Kobo Glo. The e-ink screen does feel nicer to read on and I prefer it, though I miss the responsiveness of the tablet and the great way to handle books and the library (Moon+ and CC). Perhaps that new Android reader will address the latter issue.

The Glo's advantages are the "calmer" screen, better battery life, lower weight, fewer worries that it falls off the bed and breaks, and fewer distractions (I won't check mail every few minutes). Also, I get more easily sleepy due to the lower light levels.

I appreciate both devices, just in different ways.
