I just love e-ink. For me, e-ink is the only discriminating factor between an ebook and a tablet.
Yeah I think for the hardcore reading market (small in # of people last I had heard, but a significant portion of the books bought) are going to want eink for reading. I have an android tablet and a nook, but I only use the tablet for my ebook reading when it's a kindle book or my nook needs to charge and I don't want to stop reading.
