eInk screens are better for reading, but their slow refresh speed (a sizeable fraction of a second) makes them poor choices for reading many web sites.
The 3G version of the Amazon Kindle has a reasonably decent web browser which works OK for primarily text sites (eg you can use it for MobileRead OK), but you probably wouldn't want to use it for "serious" web browsing. It's more intended for tasks such as looking up references in books in Wikipedia, and of course for actually buying books from Amazon's Kindle Store. For free web access, though, it's a lot better than nothing.
