I've actually considered buying an old Palm m100 off ebay for the very reasons that you mention... much smaller than my Kindle, easy on the eyes (similar to e-ink since they're not backlit), and the green backlighting is easier on the eyes than LCD backlighting.

edit: looking now, it looks like the m100 and m105 suffered from a worse backlight... I guess I'd have to get the original Palm III like I used to have to get those properties back.
