I agree. My paperwhite screen is not perfect but in the conditions and settings use it the lighting is pretty even and the colours don't show.
Back to the OP's original question, I've had lengthy reading sessions at night with my paperwhite and I've never had eye strain. In fact it's so comfortable that I often fall asleep whilst reading . On the contrary I find the light from backlit devices to be too harsh for reading at night and it has the opposite effect, it keeps me awake even if I was feeling sleepy before using it.
