I am one of those that use my HD+ exclusively to read on. Well, mostly exclusively. I don't read on anything else but I do use it for a few more things. It's great for digital comics. The size and resolution are perfect. I also have a couple of games I'm hooked on. But 90% of my daily use for m HD+ is for reading.
I moved from my Kindle Keyboard to a Nook Tablet when my wife got me one for Christmas in 2011. I'd heard all the concerns about eyestrain and was worried at first but, once I got started, I've never looked back. I've never had the first issue with any sort of eyestrain. Now, keep in mind that I work for a living, I have a wife and kids as well as a home to keep up. I'm not one of those that can sit and read for 8 hours straight. About the most I can sit and read without needing to stop for one reason or another is a couple of hours. If I read on this screen for hours and hours on end, who knows, maybe it would be harder on my eyes. The way that I read, I've never had any problems. If you like to read outside, it definitely wouldn't be as good as an eink device, but for everything else it's great.
I picked up my Nook HD+ last December and, while it's a little large, it's not that bad. I find it somewhere between a paperback book and a hardcover. It's the perfect size for digital comics and I can increase the font size to aid my aging eyes and still have more than a single sentence on the screen.
