For me and others, it's e-ink that hurts our eyes. It's the low contrast. I can stare at a LCD for 16 hours a day, day after day, and I'm just fine. 15 mins with e-ink and I'm reaching for the aspirin. About the only place where e-ink works for me is outside in full sunlight.
It is precisely the opposite for me as well as many friends and colleagues. I can read for hours on my Kindle with no eye fatigue whatsoever. Not the case with any backlit device. The subtler contrast and ability to read in direct bright light is a plus. Love e-ink!
