I prefer my opinion which is tempered by years in an industry that used a lot of paper that the driving factor was and is price well ahead of any other consideration. Another consideration is that with paper books, the ink is part of the top layer while in an eInk display, the image is behind one or more layers.

My old reflective LCD reader glares a ton more and mostly because of that is very hard to use without its frontlight.

I can sit on a bench in bright sunlight and use my ereader collection while my Nexus 7 tablet or iPad Pro are pretty much unusable unless I hold them at weird angles so I'm not looking at what amounts to a glossy mirror.
