There are lots of different Pocket PCs, etc - I used to do my reading on a full VGA-res iPaq 4700 - but to my mind, eInk screen such as the Sony Reader or iRex iLiad are a completely different experience; much more like reading a book than reading on an electronic device. I find reading on the iPaq now feels very "cramped" indeed.

Duly noted. Too much iPod and iPaq and eInk in my cola this morning.
I agree the eInk screen is gorgeous in daylight or any kind of decent lighting. But for reading in bed to me it's a little on the heavy side and a little bulky with a booklight. Also depends on your eyes I guess. With the battery failing in my old Intermec I switched to reading on an even more venerable Handspring Prism that I had. 160x160 screen blegh! But after a day or so I didn't notice the low resolution anymore. That was when the Sony Reader (woot got it right that time) deal came along. Perfect timing. Now if I can just find a better light for night time reading I'll probably stop grousing about it altogether.
