I'm with spinoza on that. Due to hating heat, bugs and having allergies I pretty much never sit outside and read in the sun. So LCD does have that advantage. I do have a clip on light for my Kindle and it does work.
But I also don't get much of an eyestrain problem with LCDs--sit at a computer or laptop for 8+ hours everyday so I'm pretty used to it. Plus I seldom ever read for more than an hour or two straight. So that wouldn't be much of a factor to make me resist ditching e-ink for an LCD tablet once battery life is improved to at least 10 hours or so of usage. Fair trade off for the benefits that come with having an LCD screen--stylus writing, video, games, PDA functions, full featured web browsing etc.
But more hardcore readers would feel differently and e-ink is a bigger advantage for them--so there's definitely a market for e-ink readers and LCD tablets IMO. Pretty much separate markets.
