I also got a bad case of eyestrain from e-ink with my Sony. The poor contrast between text and background was a big problem.
There have been some news updates about color e-ink in the past couple of weeks. Why didn't you read them?

DixieGal - in my case, eye strain is not something that I just read about. I'm sure that eye strain can come from staring at an e-ink screen for too long, but in my actual experience I've never experienced strain while reading my Kindle, but I quickly experience strain when on a computer - laptop, desktop - it doesn't matter.
Also, in my case I actually started searching out a e-reader in the first place because of the strain I was feeling. At the time, there weren't many available options, and I certainly hadn't read anything that colored my thinking. I just noticed that computer monitors caused eye strain - for me. e-ink screens do not - at least not for me.
