OK, Donnageddon, we get it. You love your iPad. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings enough so that you feel the need to make snippy little comments every so often.
As you can guess by my avatar, I'm an Apple fan too.
GreenMonkey: Great, informative post on CRTs and such.

That is well-articulated. The same holds true for LCDs. Looking at a light source in a dark room causes eye strain. CRT more so than LCD, and LCD more so than the reflected light from an eInk screen. It is something the LCD fans should keep in mine while they are reveling in the glory of reading in the dark with no other lights on.
That is the point the original poster was getting at, simply that reading on eInk is easier on the eyes. I polled the group to confirm it. Most agree, and of course there are a few whiners.
I don't think he knew he would start a war though.
