Pros:
+ It's cheaper
+ Fast page turn
+ No flashing of the screen while turning the page
+ LCD is a mature technology, opposed to eInk which is in it's early stages

Cons:
- The LCD display consumes energy to hold the image
- Eyestrain greater that eInk?

Any thoughts?
Pros:
+ It's cheaper - YES
+ Fast page turn - YES
+ No flashing of the screen while turning the page - YES
+ LCD is a mature technology, opposed to eInk which is in it's early stages
-YES

Cons:
- The LCD display consumes energy to hold the image - YES but I charge my jetBook one time per week that is not a problem

Eyestrain greater that eInk? No Eyestrain after 4-5 hours of non stop reading[/B]
