Can't comment on AMOLED as I haven't used one before but I would think as the device is still a light generating source as opposed to a eInk which requires another source to read the same strain would occur. However I know people who have no issue with reading from a standard lcd for hours on end which would drive me insane.
For anyone looking I would say beg, borrow or steal one of each variety before buying and go with what suits (note I am not endorsing stealing :) ). How energy efficient are the new AMOLED devices anyway?
