a. The look/experience is supposed to be much better than an LCD screen. + no eye-strain
b. Battery life. If you use a phone screen continously, it ll drain pretty quick, not to mention the screen is much smaller in size (+ so text sizes vs amount of content tradeoff).
The E-Ink ones use power ONLY when they refresh a page. Sony says around 7000 page turns per charge :O That has to last me a couple of weeks

But imagine, I want to carry
1. my laptop to check emails and chat
2. ipod to listent to music
3. my phone to make calls
4. my ebook reader
I've got a 4-in-1 device I'd prefer that.
But for someone who is okay to read using that reader it does make sense

@Techie, built quality was superb. No complaints at all.

Of course, if this is meant to be used for your daily short haul commute where (and if) you have the luxury of being chauffeured , then a phone would possibly suffice
