I had never seen any of my dozen or so eink readers in real life before buying - eink isn't popular here and few devices are sold locally. Mostly Kindles (which is actually funny, since local ebooks are epub). In that sense, yes, videos are sometimes helpful; then again, not always (since both the ambient and device lighting, chosen font etc. might be very different from my own preferences). Videos comparing unlit eink screens are totally useless to me - I never read with the light off. So I don't pay all that much attention to various Youtube reviews.
