Thank you.
only you can be the judge of that. But there are options when reading on an lcd screen. You can turn the brightness down, change the background color.
Despite what some people love to believe, you aren't forced to read with the brightness at 100% on a white only background.

I have both the nook eink and nook color, I love them both. I was pleasently surprised at how quickly I adapted to reading on the LCD screen of the nook color. I played around with some settings and now I truely enjoy reading on it. In fact under normal circumstances it is now my nook of choice.

but that's me, but again only you can be the judgde of whether or not reading on an iPad or similiar device is for you. Not us, it's your eyes and your money. Not ours.
