And that is part of the reading experience I think. You pick up a book (or ereader) and enter a whole different world, and forget about where you are. It's very easy for a good 45 minutes or an hour (if not more) to pass without you realizing it when you are reading (at least that is the case for me). Back when I was in High school I would read in study hall and would have to remember to look up at the clock to make sure I hadn't missed hearing the bell because I had been so caught up in the fictional world I had entered. When you do that while reading on a LCD you can find yourself suddenly unable to keep reading for a while due to eye strain. That doesn't happen with eink.
