That may be true, but I think it points to a disadvantage of LCD. I've heard a lot of people say that the iPad screen can have its brightness adjusted, colours customised, etc. for more comfortable reading. But I prefer to just pick up a device and use it without having to set everything depending on various factors or what I'm doing with it. One of the benefits of most e-ink devices is that they are very simple and easy, intuitive. For reading that's what I want (and for the same reason I have a stand-alone MP3 player even though my phone can play music and video).
