I have a netbook with the led backlight LCD and I can read on it all day. Of course I have it pluged in to AC to be able to do that. I agree battery life sucks, but the screen is not a problem for me and I have my screen backlight all the way to as dim as it gets and it is still bright enough. But on my desktops tha have the older still backlight LCD it does hurt my eyes to even read a short time.
