I agree on the eye strain comment, in my own experience what caused me eyestrain (in my tablet or monitors) was the brightness.
Futhermore companies dont make it easier on the eyes, my tablet (first xoom model) simply does not allow a backlight level that is ok to read in the dark on android settings, I had to use an app to force lower values.
Monitors... I never seem one that had an ok brightness level as default, and ussually the ok levels are so low that it feels 'wrong'. Also I never find anyone using apptopiete screen brightness in monitors.
That being said, i read web and comics for hours on my tablet without any strain, I tried reading books too last years when my prs-650 died but it simply just didnt work.... why? That I don't know, maybe my tablet screen was too big, maybe I'm tooo used to e-ink, maybe I like being different and having an e-ink device, who knows. All I know is thatfor some reason reading in the e-reader is just a overall amazing experience when compared to reading in my tablet.
And reading in a phone.... even if its a 5" one, I just cant imagine.
Bottomline: People are different, the redundant gadget for me is actually a huge 5" phone, not the reader.
