It's a biased take on eInk for sure, given the tech their screens use.
But I do think the value of eInk is over stated by some. Yes, it's a great thing for the avid reader who is reading several hours a day. But it doesn't matter so much for the more casual reader who hardly ever reads for more than 30-60 minutes at a time etc.
I love my Kindle, but I'm so busy and have other hobbies above reading that I generally only read it for 30 minutes or an hour before sleeping a few nights a week. So I could see myself going to some LCD device as I'd love a multi function device that I could surf the net, watch movies, play games etc, and also read books on. Even better if it has a really nice touch screen with a stylus so I can mark up academic PDFs etc.
Some I'm pretty interested in the rumored Apple Tablet, especially if it has access to the Kindle store. But I wouldn't buy one for a few generations until the kinks are worked out and prices drop.
