LED screens have a backlight flashing in your face at all times. This contributes to eye strain and alters the reading experience significantly - particularly for longer periods.
e-ink is designed to replicate paper and the light is reflected. it feels exactly like reading a book. That is the key distinction. I'd wager it's almost an intelligence test if you can't tell the difference.
Well I can definitely tell the difference but I read things on computer screens all day anyway, I'm used to it by now and it's not worth bothering with carrying another device when I already carry my phone everywhere and keep it charged every day.
