I'm looking forward to the iPad as an ebook reader for that very reason. As long as the Kindle (or other epaper devices) are limited in contrast, they're not appropriate for all types of reading. (Though, to be fair, reading in the sun with excellent with the Kindle.)"
Also, since you haven't read mobileread much, here are some other mobileread users that feel the same as myself when it comes to e-ink. I could go on all day. Feel free to search yourself.

To be fair, those links appear to be talking about the second generation Kindle. The third generation Kindle's Pearl screen is much improved from that.

I find it unbelievable that you haven't heard compaints about poor e-ink readability.

The headaches seem to be linked to low contrast. Again, I think this would be different from the Kindle 3.
What generation Kindle do you have? It's not listed in your profile.
