The main trick about the e-books that everyone seems to miss, is the

e-ink is realtivley common and cheap. Last fall a US magazine had an e-
ink cover. In order for the batteries to last long enough to be of any
use, the finished magazines were stored and ship under refrigeration.
It is very slow, you can't use them for watching video, and if you are
a fast reader, you may find that the change is annoying if you "flip"
pages.
How comfortable and LED/LCD screen is depends upon how it i adjusted.
Some LED screens are difficult to use or read. The one on my MSI Wind,
is fine, even for many hours a day.
