I don't know if I would call it "eye strain", but I do feel more comfortable reading from an e-ink device. It feels more relaxing, but I can't really pinpoint the cause. I do know that if I have to do a lot of intensive reading or studying then the e-ink screen wins hands down. Maybe it is just the long familiarity of reading books - the e-ink screen seems to reproduce this sensation really well (but without the need for a bookmark!). Perhaps we should do another poll with an age grouping as well? Maybe people who learnt to read on a computer screen learnt a different reading technique, but those who learnt only from books can't adjust so readily.
