I agree that the reading tech is not the only factor that determines who comes out on top. There's a slew of factors.

But I think whoever thinks that LCD is superior to e-ink for the purpose of reading (and reading alone) will find it very hard to make a compelling argument. E-ink is simply better to the mechanics of reading, not for games, or apps, or anything else....for just reading. And I think that most people would agree with this. Your eyes feel more comfortable reading e-ink for a sustained period of hours than it does an LCD screen. I work on a computer all day and I can't wait to stare at something with no glare like a Kindle. Aside from wanting color, I see very little reason why LCD would be superior for reading purposes. Can someone explain?
