This old/new breed of LCD screens that is coming our way will be a temptation of a different nature.

Those screens target generic "medium-sized" device, the "tablet" or "netbook" category. The ebook reading function is secondary, there is no head-on competition with dedicated e-ink reader. "Good enough" contrast might be a winner, if it is paired with generic x86 processor running MS or Apple OS.

Wintel and Apple machines can deal with ANY DRM scheme in existence. If the resolution of LCD screen is sufficient to deal with A4/letter sized PDF's...
