I know this is a minor thing, but I can read a book endlessly for hours, because the paper page has a "soft" background which doesn't tire my eyes.

When I use Calibre on my netbook to read, however, it's a harsh white background, and I get a headache after about 1-1/2 hours, but at the least I notice my eyes tiring shortly after a couple of hours.

The backlit screen is what the problem is no doubt, but there must be a solution to promote "easy reading" with less eyestrain using a carefully matched color combination of background and text. My standard Nook is also very easy ready reading, I know it's because it has that soft Adobe "Ereader" background.

The Adobe Digital Editions uses a soft white background. It almost looks like paper.

I can't be the only one who has this issue, but i was wondering if there was a solution?

Thanks,
Robert
