You are probably right, but I have spent hours trying to find a setup on the Nook Color that allows me to read for more than 30 minutes without eyestrain. I'm not saying there isn't a setting that will work for me, but after trying different reading apps, different light/contrast settings, different fonts/sizes, line spacings, backgrounds, light on dark and amd whatever else, I have given up. After all, I do have a fantastic eInk reader that I can just pick up and read and sort of shrug my shoulders in a "OK, so this isn't for me".

But, as Prestidigitweeze pointed out, this might very well be because I do have eyes bad enough to stop me from reading many paper books, and that probably makes me more sensitive.
