Yes, everyone has their own practical experience :) - I’ve been reading smart for the third year - I can’t get enough of it, and I turned my lap for thirty minutes in a store where it’s impossible to say that there is little light - and the position where the text is visible, and not seem to be imagined - found with great difficulty ...
Do not take it as a run over, but in my opinion you read it on smart, if it already seems to have begun :) Or, as an option, it was a VERY dark store.
Because neither I, nor my spouse, or a couple of friends who also have lbooks and have no problems reading from him ... read quietly exactly under the same lighting conditions under which a normal book normally reads.
By the way, a long time ago, when I used the Palm m105 for reading, I never used the backlight in it .. and there the screen is MUCH darker than eInc.
But 30 minutes of torsion in the hands can hardly be called practical experience ...
I’ve also twisted a lot of gadgets from my friends during my life in stores. But to say that I have practical experience when working with them ...
Personally, I would agree to read on the screen of a classic ms-smart with its target screen and no resolution only under pain of death :) - all the same, my eyes have not yet learned how to install new ones, so my memory is dear to me :)
PDA vs Lbook - it still did not go, provided that the PDA has a VGA ... everything else to compare for reading is somehow not serious ...
Naturally, IMHO.

This is also an option, but the characteristics are much worse, without a very noticeable drop in price:
7300 vs 9500.
But:
1. LCD screen against eInk - this is a very big difference, I speak as a person who began to read more on the Palm M105 :).
2. The screen, judging by the description, is 1-bit, the lbook has 2 bits. That allows you to do a fairly nice eye-smoothing of fonts.
2. Lower screen resolution
3. percent \ memory is even cooler than that of lBook, so that about native support for pdf \ doc and everything else is likely to star (percent with it, longer
It will render, but here is 256 kilograms of memory for pdf - well, well).
4. The lBook has better equipment - a 512 Mb card + a tiny smart card reader for it is included, a trifle, of course, but it’s 500-600 rubles.
5. Apparently, some kind of memory card format ... On the same site, a 128-megabyte card costs another 1350 p. And you have to buy it, because the built-in read-only memory of 256 kilos is not even funny. That's practically no difference ... But if you "come up fairly" and bring the amount of memory closer to the one supplied with lbook, the price will probably exceed the price of lbook.
6. It is not clear how he is doing with the Russian, who Russified and who updates the software for him (if at all).
