See? This is the problem. One got to jump through hoops to alleviate discomfort. Alleviate is the key word. Adjusting brightness and contrast does help as well as having an adequate ambient light. However, it only alleviates eyestrain. It doesn't remove it completely. Most of the users who claim they don't have any LCD related eyestrain issues can use any LCD with ambient light or in a complete darkness and they feel fine. No eye strain. Then there is another group of users who got to spend time and energy on finding the best settings, the best conditions etc. Why? Why fight against nature? Your eyes get tired when reading off of LCD? Forget about it and use eInk. Enjoy life. Don't try to prove anyone anything. Just be yourself.

and vice versa. You don't feel tired when you read off of LCD screen? Kewl! Be happy and leave those miserable curs alone to play with silly eInk toys.

For the life of me I don't understand why we discuss it in the first place. We use what we like. Why ask somebody else a question such as: Does reading off of LCD screen tire your eyes? Then base your decision based on their replies.
"Listen" to your own eyes. You feel comfortable with LCD? Use it. No? Use eInk.
