I've read studies suggesting e-ink devices aren't any better for your eyes than reading on modern LCD/OLED screens. I find this hard to accept from my own experience, with ereaders being far more comfortable for longer reading sessions.

I guess where ereaders may definitely have the edge is battery life and a better reading experience across different lighting conditions.
eInk wins 100% outside in sunlight.

In theory 100% true. In practice I've never read for more than a couple of minutes in direct sunshine.

But don't forget the sunscreen for yourself

Everyone needs a wide brim hat in the sun.

Somebody gave me (I had to look) an Eddie Bauer khaki hat that I sewed in a cord and a toggle for a chin strap. It's fairly structureless and you can fold it and put it in your back pocket when indoors. Also Neutrogena SPF-55. Also very light weight long sleeve shirts.

I practically cracked mines plastic from sun exposure.
