I can imagine that a dedicated e-reader is more relaxing because of it's single-purpose nature but the pain is real.

Asthenopia can occur in varying degrees, just like other other forms of strain/pain, and is accompanied by symptoms that also accompany stress.
P.S. schmolch, don't get me wrong. LCDs (or any source of light)
can cause eye-strain (very intense in some people) if they are used incorrectly. I was simply presenting an additional point of confusion, which in my (admittedly limited) experience, is another reason people (wrongly) blame LCDs for eye-strain.
