I'm not saying you don't get migraines when reading on a backlit screen. I'm saying that correlation does not equal causation. What's the pixel density of the backlit screen you're reading on? How far away from your face is the screen?
In general, low ppi is much more likely to cause strain than a backlight. It just so happens that most PC screens are low ppi, and most people complain of headaches from reading on backlit PC screens. Until you've controlled for every other variable, you may as well blame your headaches on the LCD fairy as that would make as much sense as blaming it on the backlight (especially with an LED backlight that doesn't flicker like cold cathode backlights can).
