It's rather interesting that the bias seems to be one way. You don't see LCD supporters going to threads about a particular Eink reader and saying:
The problem (at present) with LCD is the batter life of most LCD devices. When used as an eBook reader, they don't get enough battery life. And to be a good reader, the LCD has to be able to be viewed in bright sunlight. As for eye strain, I don't have any eye strain looking at our LCD TVs, LCD computer monitors, or my wife's iPod Touch. So that is a non-issue for me. My wife doesn't have that problem as well.

Is there an LCD device that is being used as a reader that can be well viewed in full sunlight that has a 6" or larger screen?
