The thing with other screen technologies is the backlight though, which causes eye strain. With Eink there is none of that, and it really is like reading off paper.

Im not quite sure that you're understanding the whole e-reader concept..

@MichaelYaremchuk If you read as much as I do, you'd realize how painful it is to go on a trip or even commute to work with a book in my purse. I have enough problems with my spine and "A Game of Thrones" is not really a thin booklet. Also, I can carry more than one book, actually hundreds of them, with me, all the time. Not to mention dictionaries, manuals, or the anatomy textbook I use when I draw and which is heavy as fuck.

your next review you should let us listen to the ebook while it's being read. Some of it not all.

The glare of this device outweighs its nice features. I own a Nook and this one but I returned the PRS-600 back because the glare/reflection is too much to handle.

This is in no way comparable to iPad. This is e-Ink display, causes no eye strain, battery lasts for weeks and iPad is a huge iPhone, causes eye strain and last a few hours. This is good for reading book, iPad is good for... well, for avoiding in my opinion, but people regard it as good for surfing.
