I imagine you've already tried turning the brightness down, increasing font size, etc. I find for me, I can read on the iPad for hours on end with no problem at all. If, that is, I keep the screen suitably in line with ambient light and the font size large enough.

I think many of the things you mentioned will come to the iPad long before they are brought to eInk, given the collapse of the "expensive eInk" devices' market.

Hey Lee, yeah buddy I 've tried everything sepia background, different fonts, low contrast etc. The only thing that's barely tolerable is white on black in apps such as instapaper and read it later. But even then if we are talking about reading a novel or a paper, forget it.

And it's exactly as you said, the ipad did bring about (at least for the time being) the collapse of the expensive eink market, something no one here noted.
