I do have one of these new devices - a Dell Inspiron 11z. I wouldn't dream of using it as a reader, unless I was really stuck. Personally I far prefer eInk devices.
The 11z is a superb video player, on the other hand.
It's worth noting that your PRS-500 is certainly not representative of current eInk devices. The "first generation" eInk screen of the 500 has much poorer contrast than current eInk screens do. I pretty much always had to use a reading light with my PRS-500; with modern eInk readers, I can read in any light in which I could read a paperback.
