I'll second what montsnmags says. I got an iliad because my eyes were getting so tired, and thought it was due to the LCD screen (reading books seemed much easier). Getting the iliad helped, but did not totally resolve the problem. I got my eyes checked and got some glasses. It has made a huge difference. I didn't realise that I needed glasses because things didn't seem blurred to me. But I didn't know that my eyes were having to work very hard to keep things in focus. As soon as a I put the glasses on I could literally feel my eyes relaxing (and not so literally hear them sigh with relief).

I guess I'm getting old.
