I am complicated.
In the past I have read on lots and lots of various displays from really ancient ones (you remember monochrome (amber) plasma displays for laptops?) to the e-ink.
For fiction, text-only, linear reading I strongly prefer e-ink.
I can, however, imagine myself sitting in an armchair and browsing Mobileread, or reading Mastering Regular Expressions on an APPLIANCE that resembles iPad.

I am currently using an LCD display for browsing, work and entertainment and I expect to use a light-emitting display for those tasks in a foreseeable future.
