I don't mind reading on them, but I do a lot of reading in bed, and backlit LCD in a dark room is very hard on my eyes. I can only read on them in the dark for 10 minutes or so. I can read for hours on the Oasis.

Reading in a dim to dark room is where I was disappointed in the Paperwhite's performance. Once I took the front lighting down to a comfortable level, the text was a low contast black on middle grey mess. LCD maintains better contrast in similar lighting.
