I use the apps Screen Dim and Low Light on my Fires and Android phone to get the backlight low enough to read comfortably in dim light. Without these apps, the backlight brightness can be very uncomfortable, but with these apps I can set the screen brightness perfectly for reading anywhere from bright outdoors, sitting in shade, to in bed, in the dark, at night.
Full sun is the only place I really need e-ink, and that doesn't happen too often these days. If I had a front-lit kindle, I'd use e-ink more, but the tablet/phone work too well to justify yet another device. I hate the low contrast of e-ink in my normal indoor house lighting.
BTW, to answer someone's question, the Kindle app does have brown on sepia and black on light green color schemes. I try them sometimes for a change, but end up switching back to black on white.
I know a couple of people who regularly read on tablets, but I can't think of anyone (besides myself) who uses an e-ink device.
