I'm curious. If you're talking straight-up LCD vs eInk, I fail to see what could be relevant other than eyestrain/glare/sunlight. Unless you're talking stuff like "more distractions" or battery life. Battery life's a valid beef (just not one that affects me), but somehow I don't think that's what many people have in mind when they knee-jerk all; "OMG. How can you read on an LCD screen?!" I was mainly addressing those who seem quick to balk at the screen technology
alone.
I don't care if I have to charge every couple of days, I don't get eyestrain, I almost never read outdoors, my Nexus 7 is lighter than the eInk reader I had for years, and I put the device in airplane mode if I don't want to be distracted. I don't mean to imply that you're not entitled to your preference or anything, but I'm genuinely curious what's left on your list of advantages.
