Did you try it?

It also has a great battery life, you can read all day, every day, for weeks before have to recharge. With a phone or tablet after a few hours battery will be dead.

They are also quite cheap these days.

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.
