Technically speaking he is very correct. The Jetbook's screen has almost instant page turns, no black flash, which is bad for the eyes, and almost twice the contrast, which
reduces eye strain. As far as stability goes LCD is a much more mature technology and from screen failure reports, e-ink seems much less "stable".
