Especially with backlit devices in a dark room. The whole "flashlight shining into your eyes" thing.
Well like I said it must be variable. It's never bothered me, or my wife, mother, or father in the last 15 years. I make it a habit of reading in bed in complete darkness and with the backlight turned down to the minimum it's very comfortable.

Edit: I actually read primarily on my phone now (HTC Desire) and I use the Kobo app set to 'night mode' which is black background, white text. I don't even have to turn the backlight down, though I did when I was still using my RCA/EBW.
