I use a little Elonex reader for myself. I read lots of PDF's with photos and diagrams and it is backlit so I can read at night.
Question - my wife fancies a Kindle, but I think she'd get browned off by its poor photo reproduction and having to find a light source to read at night. Am I right about these things or is e-ink just as versatile as LCD?
She will need a light to read at night. I just have a normal bedside lamp, others use covers with clip-on lights.

The e-ink is much better than LCD when using in bright sunlight but it isn't good for photos etc.

Thanks for that, Jules. I must say I like the look of e-ink, but it'd be no good for my uses.
