It's not just me (and here is an analysis of the study).

That study has been posted and hashed over and debated many times on MR, but the end result is that in a clinical study backlit LCD reading and unlit eink reading showed no remarkable difference in eyestrain or fatigue that could be directly attributed to the type of screen used. Note that the study used the original iPad, with its 132ppi low-res screen. I would expect a repeat study with a retina iPad and KPW to be equally inconclusive.

I'm not saying you're wrong for preferring to read on your Kindle. That's a perfectly legitimate choice for you to make. Just stop justifying it with quack "science".
