I have, however, seen posts in this thread and other past threads by people who insinuate that those who don't like to read on LCD haven't been bright enough to adjust the brightness setting.
Yep. "E Ink fanboys" always have "subjective" reasons for preferring eInk Readers, whereas tablet users are "objective" and "scientific" in their assessments. Personally I don't care what device anyone else uses for reading. I know that I prefer eInk devices and I know why.

But what really riled me in this thread was the "E Ink fanboy" reference. The insinuation, of course, is that those who prefer eInk Readers do so out of "blind loyalty" or stubbornness, or are Luddites ... or whatever — and that our "claims" as to why we prefer eInk are just "made up" to cover up our innate fanboy-ism. I'm over it now ... I think.
