i can admit that there are people that may prefer e-ink displays over something else, but saying there's a significant market segment of people like this is a leap i don't believe. you're making the assumption that because the majority of eBook readers are e-ink, then all of these people MUST prefer e-ink over backlit LCD. do they actually have a choice though? i don't think so. they're going with what the eBook market gives them, which is basically no choice.

i'm just not sure how you can make the assumption that the number of people who want only a non-backlit screen is a significant market segment. i just haven't seen anything to prove it.
