Trust me, I tried every possible combination over the years. I started reading on PDAs way back in the time of Palm Pilots, then moved on to a Palm Tungsten with a colour LCD screen. After that I bought a Fujitsu Siemens Loox N560 with a nice VGA screen. I even had a Lifebook tablet for a while!
In my personal experience reading on e-Ink with a reading light is far superior to back-lit screens.
I had a look at a friend's iPad the other day. Same thing really. Snazzy interface and all that, but not for reading. Not for me anyway.

Try them all I say - see what floats your boat
