I can and have and will read on LCD screens. But still prefer e-ink. But if I do read on an LCD (or OLED) screen, I will only do it if it has a very high resolution. Which is why most 10" android tablets just don't cut it.
Compare the Samsung Katsunami is considering to my Asus:
Samsung: 10.5": 1920x1200 [at least it's not 16:9, but 16:10 and HD]
Asus: 8": 2048x1536 [4:3]
216dpi vs 320dpi.
I bought that Asus specifically because of the high resolution (the 4:3 was a bonus) (and because it was one of the few android tablets that didn't run an ancient CPU)
I think that a lot of people get problems reading from LCD because everything is either too sharp, or too low res. E-ink, like paper, smudges 'round the edges...
