I use my iPad Air while my husband uses his Sony 650 with the lighted case. He loves his Sony. I tried to get him to let me upgrade him to a Kindle PW2 but nooooo. I simply side load the Sony with Calibre.

For me, the iPad lets me check email, look up words (quickly), and check my regular websites all in one. Yeah, I have a bit of a hard time reading outside so I have to put the brightness up all the way. I use the Calibre server to cruise my library and download new books.

To each is own.

I don't see e-ink going away unless they can't make it faster and more integrated for internet/web/mail.
