I was surprised that I really like reading on my N800. Then I tried doing it on an iPod Touch, but my eyes fatigued from the lack of pixel density. Last week I briefly tried a Kindle 2, and I was surprised to find its contrast too low for my satisfaction. Maybe contrast is adjustable, but my cousin -- its owner -- didn't think so.

March 30 Edit: While I don't like reading on the Touch with black-on-white, I used a friend's eBook Reader on her iPhone (so same should apply to a Touch) and found that white-on-black and some other color combinations made reading just fine.
