Because I know a lot of people who've read on tablets for a couple of years, but no-one who've had any problems with the low resolution.
See reply above.
Obviously the opposite is equally true: that just because you get debilitating headaches after reading on a low-res screen for an hour doesn't mean everyone else does. Or even very many people at all. My own eyesight is hardly great, at -4.5/-3.75, but no, I experience no problems whatsoever even after 5-6 hours of reading.

My eyes are attrocious, but I have never had any trouble reading on e-ink, tablets, or monitors. The only time I will have trouble is if I don't have ENOUGH light.
I would bet that this is the main problem with people and eye strain, and the fact that some probably need glasses and refuse to acknowledge that fact. If something is low resolution, and you are trying to read in poorly lit conditions, and you need glasses, it stands to reason that you are going to have eye strain.
Our eyes are not designed to truly see in the dark, or very well in low lighting conditions, so trying to do something as eye intensive as reading is just foolish. And for those who are in denial about getting their eyes checked for glasses, you are only hurting yourself with your stubborn pride, it certainly isn't a machines fault.
But it's always easier to blame something/someone else rathar then ourselves.
