What he said.

A computer is doable too, if you can get the bible in a form where you can type in your own annotations. If you want something mobile, a cheap netbook or laptop would work better for this than any e-ink device.

If you're not reading straight through, the whole backlit debate should be a non-issue.

The only reason I could see for an e-ink device instead of a laptop/netbook is if you're going to be without access to power for a long time, say if you're doing missionary work somewhere remote. And in that case, you really can't beat paper.
