I know this because my friend worked in California and now in Arizona studying positive and negative effects on the eye. I spoke with her about the jetBook Color and she said - "As long is it doesn't have a backlight you're all good - if it does, say goodbye to your eyesight."

Has anyone experienced this??

Personally i DESPISE backlit screens bc i feel blind when i look up from them so i'm sure reading fro prolong periods of time has to cause some sort of damage
Backlight is not harmful to the eyes, as long as you don't put it too bright.
With color comic books it's even less harmful.
There's only 2 things that could potentially be harmful on LCD screens:
1- Too bright setting for reading black on white text
2- Flickering LCD's, which nowadays are a non issue anymore. It was even more an issue with CRT screens, but LCD's are largely unaffected by this.
