You're not making this claim, are you?

Can't speak for him, but I don't think I or others have implied that.
I think proper ergonomics and lighting conditions are crucial to
minimize eye strain regardless of whether ones reading on e-ink, lcd a paper book or anything else.
Whether there's inherent difference in eye strain across types of devices even with the optimal ergonomics and lighting is debatable. Science aside, it seems reasonable from a common sense standpoint that light emitting devices would tire the eyes a bit faster than reflective ones due to more light entering the eye.
Whether that's truly the case I don't know, and frankly don't much care. Again it all boils down to reading on what feels best to your eyes and/or suits your need the best. And not caring what others think is the best to read on.
