Low resolution (as in pixel density, not display resolution -- in this case, a 480x800 screen with 200ppi is higher resolution than a standard 1366x768 15" laptop with 100ppi) is what causes the headaches, and reading on a high resolution device (most smartphones and 7" tablets, but not 9-10" tablets like an iPad) will be comfortable despite the backlight.
I read on my Nook STR on planes and on vacation -- places where I will have a guarantee of good light and may not have recharge options. Everywhere else I read on my phone, because my phone is always with me and I don't have to worry about having enough light to read on e-ink or carrying around a separate light.

But once again, that's you... a Nook STR I borrowed to try, gives me a headache/eyestrain just as quick as any other LCD screen when used for sustained reading but e-ink doesn't... better ppi gives better quality image but it's still a damn light shining directly in my eyes regardless of how many pixels it's made of...
