I get that it's variable from person to person, but to me the whole 'eyestrain from lcd' was largely something you only heard after E-Ink hit the market. It was a selling point for them even if no one actually tested the theory.
Vox is looking good for me.

No, it wasn't. Eyestrain is a long standing issue with digital displays. CRT monitors before that had lots of eyestrain issues, normally resolved with higher refresh rates.
LCDs are a bit easier on the eyes than CRTs, but there's still some eyestrain issues there. Some folks even have eyestrain issues on LCDs that they don't on CRTs at high refresh rates (kind of the opposite of the norm, but it depends on the eyes).
Especially with backlit devices in a dark room. The whole "flashlight shining into your eyes" thing.
