It's a nuanced topic. I would bet that those who like books over eInk are the same ones who prefer books over tablets. They just like books. Not so much a commentary of "eInk is uncomfortable on my eyes".
I was plumbing this topic to address the "well you don't have an eInk device". True, but I do have books. I understand how "reflected" light from a book compares to reading on my iPad. I have handled and read some on eInk devices. Other than the "device-ness", I didn't see any improvement or degredation when compared to ink on paper. Well, correction, the ability to change font size is definitely a "eInk makes things easier to read than a book". But again, that's not a differentiator between eInk and tablet.
