I got my first Kindle (K3) a few days ago and I've been reading quite a bit on it. I noticed today that my vision gets blurry after reading for a sustained period of time (30 minutes to an hour). I don't really notice it while reading, but when I look at something else my vision is noticeably blurred. I don't have this problem with LCD screens (28" TN panel, iPhone 4's IPS panel) or with actual ink on paper.

Any ideas on why this is happening? I've been reading with the standard font at size 3 although I believe that my vision still becomes blurry with size 4. It takes a good 30 minutes to a hour to get my vision back to normal.

I'll be testing my eyes/kindle out with the sans-serif font as well as larger sizes to see if those fix it, but I wanted to see if this was a common or at least a recognized problem.
