Actually, I'm surprised the eInk manufacturers haven't commissioned more public research tests on this...it seems like a strong marketing point to have quantitative data on the issue. Of course, they may have already done it internally.

But, regardless of what a study or two may say, personal preference/experience in the end is all that really matters.
