I read outside with my iPad all the time. Reflection is an issue, but not an insurmountable one. Of course, reading outside is where any of the eInk choices really shine. I read outside in the shade...not full sunlight.
Inside, of course, reflection can still be an issue. A slight adjustment in reading position has always been able to cure it for me when I'm in those environments with overhead lighting.
Balance that against the many positives for tablets used for reading. Very quick. Color. Handling PDF's very well. Not locked into a single book source (well, not having to go through hoops to side load books from other stores).
Then there are all the "not reading" uses for tablets. Surfing the web, email, watching videos, listening to music, games and much more.
Eink devices have gotten so cheap that you can just get both a tablet and an eInk reader. I keep thinking that, but then I never buy the eInk reader because I can read just fine on my phone and my iPad.
