Yes, we are not talking about racism here! We are talking about users who express their feelings about their experiences with different technologies for their personal needs. If the majority prefers E-Ink then that just means it is more suitable for the needs of heavy readers. I wouldn't call it a bias, I would call it a preference. But since heavy readers are a small minority the convenience of multi-function devices with LCDs and maybe OLEDs will win out in the market place and e-ink will remain a small niche (but hopefully not go away). I like multi-function, I have used my phones for browsing, reading, e-mail, IM, music, videos, document reading and editing for more than 4 years since the days of the Palm Treo and HP PDAs. But for me e-ink devices are most comfortable for my eyes. And the battery lasts and lasts. IMHO it will be a while until multifunction tablets will come close to that functionality.
