I find that I do get eyestrain, but more from long periods of time at the desktop computer than from the mobile device. I can actually read for long periods on my Treo 650 with less eyestrain than long periods reading a paper book. I don't set the Treo ebook fonts as small as I'd like to anymore, and I get to choose my favorite font. I don't read in strong light either, so I don't have to worry about glare.
I can't tell you why it works that way for me except that when I read a regular book, it is tough on my eyes (my vision is fading a bit anyway) and often looks very "busy" on the printed page with the typical typefaces used in novels. But on a Treo with my favorite font, and blown up just a bit, it is more relaxing. Could be that I'm fooling myself because I like doing just about anything better on my Treo, but I don't think so.
