Darwin:
The Aluratek uses an LCD - the technology is called e-paper - and it's not backlit. I'm not sure in what other ways the LCD has been "tweaked" but there is no eye strain when reading it and it looks and works just like paper. I've used it outside in full sunlight without washout.

The only disadvantagethat I am aware of, compared with e-ink, is power consumption. However, I can get through 400-500 page turns out of a single charge, which I don't find too bad. However, e-ink gives 7500 page turns on a charge.

The main advantages over e-ink relate to page turning: doing is so is near instantaneous and you are not presented with a negative image of the page for a second before the next page is rendered.
