How does that make it not better?

Reading an LED screen in the dark of night is still a "strain" with the light constantly in your face. With an e-ink device you can position yourself where ever it is more comfortable for you. Some people like the light behind them, some to the side of them..I don't know too many who like to have light directly in front of them the entire time their reading. Its not much different than being in front of your computer all day long...it gets tiring.
