So all of you folks who don't have problems with LCD screens now - just wait.  |
Anecdotal, but my father in law who is 65 looked at me funny when I told him about eInk, he has been reading on his laptop for months and has no idea what I am talking about with regards to eye strain. He reads 4+ hours a day has had cataract surgery and wears reading glasses.
Here is a good article on eye strain and how it may be just caused by the ergonomics. DISCLAIMER: this does not discount anyones personal experience
