Do you normally read trade paperbacks or mass market paperbacks? If mass market, then yes, an e-ink screen will usually be an improvement. If trade paperback, then the e-ink is a slight step down (IMHO, but it's a step down I'm willing to live with). That's because many mass market paperbacks use very low quality paper and ink whereas trade paperbacks tend to use slightly heavier stock and higher quality ink. Of course, this isn't a hard and fast rule, but rather a general one.
