With paper books there is much more repositioning of the book, and hence your eyes, while changing pages which causes your eyes to move and refocus. |

I find kindle Eink display very easy on the eyes, unlike computer LCD displays, but the only problem (or maybe not really a problem) is that it is not backlit, so make sure you read in a well lit room.

It's true that good reading light is important, but there is extremely little difference, if any, between a current state-of-the-art eInk display and a paper book in this respect. Any difference in eyestrain between eInk and paper is due to some other cause.

I totally disagree. I can read print books in very poor light without experiencing discomfort. Reading e-ink in dim conditions for an extended period makes my eyes blur and gives me a headache. I find a book light essential.
