I'm tempted by one of the upcoming 7" tablets. The only thing holding me back is the shorter battery life and possible eye strain. Whichever I settle on, I appreciate that I will have to compromise.
I also want a device that allows me to read newspapers. I find the reduced content on newspapers for the Kindle rather disappointing.

I'm surprised you've not seen the photos, the tv ads, the display e-ink readers in various electronics stores. There have been so many reviews of e-ink devices over the last few years that one would have to almost *actively* avoid seeing large-size images of the various generations of e-ink displays.
And, yes, the first couple of days or weeks can be unnerving to someone who has become so used to glaring white backgrounds. Give it a few more weeks and I think you'll find that reading becomes 'natural-feeling' to you.
As for news, well, get yourself an iPad. And don't short yourself by going 7", spring for the original iPad-the most expensive one. Then take it outside on a nice, bright, sunny day and read your newspapers and magazines to your heart's content.
