I disagree with this.

I totally agree that high brightness settings cause more eye fatigue. That is why i generally use my laptop at the lowest brightness setting especially in night.

But even if i use the lowest brightness setting, it is nowhere near e-ink. I tried various LCD screens (ipad, 102 cm LED tv, laptop screens, desktop monitors) and all of them caused eye fatigue even at the lowest brightness settings.

But i think it really depends on the user a lot. I have a friend who can begin and finish a book from his laptop screen which i am pretty sure i will never ever be able to do.
