Getting older I started to have trouble reading, from my personal experience with a Sony PRS-700 (side lit), SONY PRS-T1 (no internal light) and Book Een Oddesey (front lit), I have to say that the lighting on the BookEen makes all of the differences being able to read comfortably. The BookEen also has a slightly higher resolution, at a similar screen size, but that doesn't seem to much of problem.

For prolonged reading, half and hour upwards at a time, a real bookreader is (again personal experience) more comfortable than computer screen or iPad or Samsung Galaxy. Although I have experimented with dimmed screens, they still give me the feeling of 'looking in the sun'.

I even prefer the BookEen over my more or less dedicated 3rd monitor (portrait mode, 1200x1920) that I use for reading on-line documentation.

For reading longer periods at a time, I definitely recommend using a properly lit dedicated ebook over a generic device.
