This subject comes up over and over again, and I'll just copy/paste the same answer over and over again.

At this point in time, there is no substitute for e-ink.

A phone or tablet become very reflective, especially if the background is set black. To be able to read in very bright light, the screen has to be set at full power, which causes battery life to be very short. Even at full power, many LCD screens are often too reflective, and not bright enough to read in bright light; which is something I do a lot in public transport/outside while waiting.

I don't really care if I read on e-ink or LCD, but at this time, e-ink just works best: huge battery life, almost no reflections and (since the backlight introduction) works in both bright light and darkness.
