There are things I miss about reading ebooks on my Treo, namely being able to take notes. (Though the Kindle allows that, I think, but there are other reasons I decided to not get a Kindle.) But my eyes are sensitive to light. I have problems with glare while driving at night. My eye doctor tells me there is nothing wrong with my eyes; they are just over-sensitive to light. I can read on a backlit device for a little while, but eventually everything goes black and swimmy. I can read for hours and hours and hours on an eInk device and never feel a bit of fatigue.
I still read book occasionally on my Treo, and hope to soon on my Pre (I'm waiting for eReader), but it will only be an emergency backup sort of thing. Until we get technology that mimics the good things for me about eInk, I'll stick with eInk.
