Even though I believe what you are saying , it should be the opposite.
As LCDs reach higher resolutions there are even more dead gaps or spaces (aperture ratio) between pixels. On eink we don't have gaps, aperture ratio should be 100% so the surface is and looks smother for the eye.
Also, with a backlit screen, every time your eye switches from a bright screen to the dimmer ambient room, back to the ipad, your eye muscles adjust themselves to compensate, because the difference in lumens.
New Ipads should look way better than previous iPad models, no doubt about it, but they are still LCD screens.
Like Amanda said, the backlight is what causes eyestrain and that has not changed.
