In fact I get LESS eyestrain reading the jetbook lite in bed with a bedside lamp than I do trying to read a paper book in the same fashion. The e-ink addicts keep saying their e-ink readers are "just as good as a paper book". Well for me the jetbook lite with its reflective lcd is BETTER than a paper book hence better than e-ink and it doesn't have the annoying huge delay on changing to next page the e-ink devices has. With 23 hours of battery life between battery changes I think its good enough in that fashion also. And yes it works wonderfully outside in sunlight.
