Fact in the sense of "Has lots of official research to support it"? Perhaps not. Fact that I personally get headaches from reading on an LCD screen for long periods of time? And that I noticed this long before I knew about other screen options, and thus wasn't being swayed by marketing? Absolutely. Fact that other folks have similar claims? Certainly.
Clearly eyestrain/headaches from LCD isn't a problem for everybody, so maybe it's not a universal truth. But it's definitely true for some of us, which is why we love the eInk so much.
That said, there really doesn't need to be an LCD vs. eInk war (I'm aiming this at the general concept, not specific posters; I see this sort of thing all over online). They're just different technologies designed for different people with different needs. I think it's smart of B&N to capitalize on this split in the market by trying to appeal to both customer groups.
