I do not attempt to persuade people who has no issue with LCD that LCD is bad for their eyes. It is the LCD side who always attack me and tell me that LCD related eye strain is a figment of my imagination and such an issue doesn't exist.
See the difference?

I do, however, you are not the one I was talking to when I made this argument. Also, if you had seen what I saw, and you still can, on Engadget's press release and preview of the Nook it was filled with eink fans saying "OMG LCD, it will burn my eyes out." Seriously, go read it. People on there literally believe LCD can burn their eyes like a laser beam.... This might by why some of us here defend it so hard. My apologies if you think in any way I want to replace eink - I think we NEED it and the more choice we have the better. As you can see I have eink in my collection, and have had more than the one in my list.
I love it for certain conditions... But for reading in bed I always choose one of my LCD devices (and I read every night before sleep).
