There are a few more of us who are perfectly comfortable reading on other than E Ink screens. I wouldn't say E Ink hasn't had a huge impact on e-book reading... it has... but it is only one display technology, and sold in combination with other hardware, and it's that combination that makes the difference.

My impression is that a lot of people simply don't know how to set their displays to a level that is comfortable to them. This is a fault with most display technologies: They hide their controls, making it tough for novice and experienced users alike to find and adjust them to their liking.

But I've said before, it's a preference thing, and as long as there are people who prefer the reading experience of E Ink devices, there will be E Ink devices for them.
