Why blasting? I always keep any backlights to a minimum. Blasting is good for a flashlight but eats batteries. I do not suffer from this problem but there is no indication that I have found so far that shows backlights as being a cause. There are LCD displays that do not use a backlight at all (reflective LCD in the wiki). Some people still complain of eye-fatigue which leads me to believe it is more complicated than you seem to think. I do think e-Ink is better but people still seem to indicate that they need more front light to read without fatigue.
