The experience will be better concerning glare. And that may help to be able to read easier with the lower contrast of the screen in bright outdoors. Why reduced contrast? In the sun your eyes are adjusted to really really bright, so in turn the sceen has to compete with the sun in brightness to keep white close to white and not a dark grey. Eink, while not having the best contrast in town, has the clear advantage of having consistent contrast. The more light you blast on it, the brighter the screen will be. The brightness of backlit screen is limited by the leds - there is only so much you can do with the leds that backlight the sceen.
