I suspect two reasons: 1) The dpi is not great enough to be used as an effective ereader and 2) they had to make compromises in the algorithm to accommodate both landscape and portrait views.

The text isn't as high of contrast as e-ink, but I find it easier to read personally.

The screens bigger so you can compensate by having larger font and still having a lot more words on the screen.

And for me, having adjustable back lighting is a huge help as I tend to read in dim settings. Never read outdoors, in direct sunlight by a window etc.

Anyway, to each their own. I found the reading on the iPad better than reading on my Kindle personally. Kindle would no doubt be better for reading for 5 hours straight or something. But again, I never do that. An hour at a time is a long session of reading for me.
