Proper LCD use nicer than eInk for reading

[SuperKendall]

Having read hundreds of pages so far on my Kindle (just got it recently)

I like the kindle but dislike the display. The contrast is too low for me to read with comfort.

LCD's are fine for reading ebooks - I have read a number of long eBooks. The most preferable is the iPhone 4 screen, because it is so crisp... the next is the iPad, because of the size.

The key to all LCD reading is that you need to pay as much attention to ambient light as you would with any kind of ink based reading. You wouldn't read a book in pitch black darkness, nor should you try with an LCD even though you can. If you have even a little illumination around you you can read an LCD indefinitely without strain.
