I like the review!
I've been a PDA reader for ages as well and only recently switched to e-ink (partly!) I generally use my mini for day-light reading and my LCD device (mostly my JE100, the Loox720 hasn't had this long a vacation since I got it...) for night time reading.
And thank you for finding out what happened with those italic fonts... I noticed those as well, especially with the font I'm currently using, but didn't really look into it
. I mainly read mobipocket, as I don't like the epub application, no page numbering, no battery status, and no bottom and top margin. And don't even get me started at those numbers on the right margin...
If you ask what I'd prefer reading, I'd say my transflective PDA screen, but then 5" instead of 3.4"... I do like the e-ink, but I like the flexibility of my LCD screen (colours, possibility of backlight and still perfect daylight reading). As soon as a 5" or 6" transflective LCD screen device arrives, I'm hooked...
