Of course I prefer eInk, but to say the LCD devices are "horrible" is a gross exageration, I think .
I would certainly prefer this to reading on my phone. If I ran out of battery then I couldn't read. That's unfortunate. If I run out of battery with my phone, I'm out of contact which is generally not wise in my life. The only time 5 hours would be inadequate for me would be when I'm traveling. I still prefer eInk but this doesn't seem to be without use.
