For me it was portability rather than technology. I don't mind reading on my computer screen, and the vast majority of time doing it doesn't bother my eyes, the only problem with it was that I wanted something portable I could take to bed, or out on the couch. I've found myself wishing more than once that my EZ Reader either had a built in light or was backlit, as the ambient light in my house for some reason stays pretty dim. Also I find reading at night in bed, I have to lay on my side facing the light to get enough light on the display to read by - if I turn over, I can't see the screen well. I don't read outside very often, so that's really not a concern for me. Don't get me wrong, I love my EZ Reader to pieces, but I don't think I'd love it any less if it had a backlit LCD screen.
All that long winded explanation was to say: There may be a bias on MR about LCD screens, but I'm not a participant in it.
