This has been discussed to death. For me (and others like me) there is a huge difference between reading small bits of text on an LCD monitor and doing serious, concentrated reading for long periods of time.

I spend all day at work looking at LCD screens, and a great deal of my leisure time as well. But I just can't read anything more than a few hundred words at a time on LCD without feeling uncomfortable. I've been reading this forum for the last 15 minutes and when I look away my eyes relax. They don't need to with e-ink.

I'm sick of people comparing book reading to browsing the web and checking email. If LCD works for you that's great. But it doesn't work for everyone, and long-form reading is a very different activity to reading relatively small pieces of text in between looking at pictures and interacting with the mouse, etc.
