I've read hundreds of books on LCD, and less than one on E-Ink (I just bought my Sony Reader two hours ago). I can still read happily on LCD, but there are certain things that make E-Ink compelling to me.

1) Battery Life: I read very fast and the idea of a device that can last through multiple books is a goodness.
2) Screen Size: I can't find a 6" LCD device and while the Jetbook is close at 5" the combination of its price and format support keep it off my shortlist.
3) Daylight Reading: I want to be able to read on the porch and it's easier to find an E-Ink device that supports that than an LCD device.

For me it's not that E-Ink is better by virtue of the name, but that the features I want most are only found in E-Ink devices.
