Ok one more try here. Not all lcd ereaders have backlit screens. Have ANY of you tried the reflective TFT lcd screens. The stronger the light the easier they are to read at least for me. Hence they work GREAT in sunlight for me. Now I have VERY little experience with e-ink readers. That said, most people that like e-ink seem to use a variation of the following statement, "e-ink is almost as easy to read as a real paper book" I have a jetbook lite that has a tft reflective screen. For me it is EASIER to read in bed using a bedside lamp and causes less eyestrain than reading a paper book under same conditions. So assuming the e-ink devices ARE as easy on the eyes as a real book then for me I deduce my jetbook lite is better than an e-ink for me. For backlit lcd devices I agree they do seem to add to eyestrain. However the key thing in this lcd vs e-ink for me is how well an e-ink compares to a modern lcd that is NOT backlit. (by modern I am talking resolution) For me the only advantage e-ink has over a reflective lcd is battery life. I get some 23 hours between battery changes on my lcd device. I am quite happy with that.
