Some people do find this to be the case, so you are not alone. It is not the same or as severe as the eye strain you'd get from reading a computer/tablet LCD screen, but there are some people who do find some eye strain when reading on front-lit e-ink ereaders. I do think you have to give your eyes some time to get used to it and then it might not be so noticeable, however there are a few people who just prefer to stick with their non-lighted ereaders and use a lighted cover/clip on light, even if the evenness of the light over the screen isn't as good.
There is an additional layer on the screens of ereader with in-built lighting compared to those without (like your Kindle Touch), some people don't notice it at all, others find it very apparent. Personally, I can see it a little, I'm aware of it but it doesn't really bother me. I find it only has a very slight impact on the contrast of the screen & sharpness of the text, and that is by far negated by the overall clarity of the screen and even lighting.
Most people buy a lighted ereader and would never want to go back to reading on a non-lighted one, but they are not for everyone.
