There are, IMHO, other factors than just the screen type, like ambient light, the overall quality of the screen, lights settings, font size, font weight ...
Try to set the frontlight higher (or lower ?) maybe.

I am one of them who eINK messes with my eyes. The Kindle Paperwhite especially I can't read on it long periods of time. Front light just causes eye strain on me and my other Kindles makes me sleepy after reading on them.
I can read on my Nexus 7.2 for hours. Just last night I got caught up in a really good book and read for 10 hours straight no problem. I find people who claim they can't read on LCDs often have the screen set up too bright or have a crappy tablet. I keep my Nexus 7.2 brightness all the way down and on the Moon+ Pro Reader app I use -5 brightness in light settings which makes the screen look like a piece of paper. It's so real looking you can't tell you are looking at a backlit screen at all. I have no eye strain whatsoever and have been reading more since I got my tablet it's a dream come true for me.
Also using these settings I have no problems sleeping. I sleep like a baby after reading. I remember on my Kindle Fire v1 I did suffer from some insomnia not so with the Nexus. So I do believe it's about how bright you set the screen.
