I was also reading in my nintendo ds lite with the same symptom, 2 hrs max. but more if I use it to play games.


In the coming end-of year holiday I am going to borrow my sis' iPad to test if I can read in extended time on it.


How come 7" is fine with you, but not a plain monitor? on what lighting conditions?*
Position. When I read on my device, I'm sitting comfortably on the couch, curled up in a chair, or laying in bed. Just like reading with a book. Behind a monitor, I'm sitting straight, in a "correct" computering position, so to speak. I can't move the monitor in a different position to it becomes more comfortable to read on, while I might switch position of my device (in relation to my eyes) several times.

looks like I can understand coldsun getting pissed on e-ink users. I'm getting the vibe that some e-ink users dismisses the idea that lcd(or any backlighted display tech) can be a proper reading device completely.
It's not only Coldsun...
