You might not feel the strain but opticians and doctors will tell you staring directly at a light source is not good for your eyes.

I don't get why Ipad users feel like they have to defend their reading on Ipad.I didn't read the whole thread but the OP was talking about LCD based readers not muti purpose devices like the Ipad.
