In any case, it seems some people can't wrap their head around the fact that LCD < e-INK in readability/eye comfort of many applications besides novels. I know, what a crazy new idea.
Just realize that many of us eye's hurt more from reading LCD but are perfect with e-ink display, on ANY APPLICATION. GET IT????

Yes, and I guess my eyes aren't quite as bad as yours. I can browse the web on LCD or CRT screens okay, but can't read long texts except on e-ink screens. Browsing is just light reading without the intense concentration I use with even short stories. I think the difference is just that -- browsing I often look away from the screen even when reading just a short article, but if I get really into a novel or short story, I don't break my concentration by looking away from the page, whether it's paper or a screen. So for me, e-ink is a must have for that sort of reading, but luckily not necessary for browsing.
Hmm, just realized that the above holds true for writing as well. I'm a writer and can write long texts on a computer screen okay, but it's because I don't stare intensely at the screen for long periods when writing, but look away a lot or even close my eyes a lot inbetween spells of typing.
