Absolutely. For my own part, I never intended to suggest otherwise. I'm merely tired of those whose eyes
prefer reading on eInk clinging uselessly to the idea that their preference is somehow ... natural(?) ... or organic(?). Even if they're in the majority ... what would be the relevance? Preferences aren't required to have justification. Nor should they need vindication in numbers. Like what you (rhet) like without attempting to assign some sort of "natural order of things" quality to your choice.
I read entirely on LCD these days, myself. But I don't think there's any reason to believe that eInk devices won't stick around for the long haul. There may not be a myriad of choices/features for those who prefer them, but nobody's going to be forced to read books on technology that hurts their eyes.
