To each his own. Reading from back-lit LCD produces too much eye strain for me so it's in no way superior. And I am yet to see a notebook with a LCD that would be readable under direct sunlight. Also it's not always possible to find a power outlet on long transfers in the airports. And lugging notebooks with power adapters isn't my idea of fun either. So for having a read on the go current generation of eReaders is ideal for me.
As for research and work, than yes - having a few large screens with huge resolutions is very helpful. But then again notebooks instantly fail here.
