Please don't forget that many of us bought eInk devices after reading for many years on LCD screens; eg, I've personally been reading eBooks for over 25 years, more than 20 of those on LCD screens. For me personally, the benefits of eInk screens are overwhelming; long battery life, clarity, etc. I certainly wouldn't say that eInk is "over-hyped" at all.

My only concern about an Apple Tablet (and there will be one released, the success of the iPod touch insures that) is how difficult it will be to hack in order to obtain something that is essentially entirely open.
"Apple" and "open" are contradictory terms. Nobody buys an Apple device if they want something that's open.
