I keep the brightness/contrast down relatively low and use the larger font -- the screen looks gray, not white like a lot of web pages. I gave midterms today where I teach, and was able to read all day long without any eye fatigue. The device draws quite a bit of interest from the kids (AND we're talking inner city here -- not a hotbed of heavy reading!) who ask, "Where can I get one?"
I'll eventually get an e-ink device too, but so far, this one is WAY better than reading on my PDA! Also, the 1150 seems sturdier than what I'm reading here about the e-ink screens -- my environment can be rough at times, so I probably wouldn't take an e-ink device in to my school anyway.
