Really? I can see that might be the case in areas where bright sunlight is correlated with uncomfortable temperatures, but where I live in the UK I read outside whenever possible during most of what passes for our summer. While the rest of the time I read on a mix of backlit LCD (iPhone) and eink, for the outside reading the eink is certainly best for me.

I also find (purely personal preference), that the lack of distraction means I enjoy reading more on my kindle - my weakness, I'm sure, but I just can't resist checking email, news headlines etc. etc. if I'm reading on my phone.

In practice, for preference I read on my kindle if I have it with me, but have no difficulty reading on my iPhone if I don't (unless outdoors in bright sunlight).
