I've not had that problem with the Sony - I wonder if it's because you are using the larger font, so having to turn the page more often, and thus the page turning flicker is what's tiring your eyes?

I tend to use the smallest of the available fonts (long sighted, so it makes it easier for me!), and actually find I can read for long on the Sony than I can with a normal book.

I certainly find it a lot less tiring than reading on my N800!

All of which goes to show that there's not one device that's suitable for everyone.

And having said that, I'd've liked the Iliad for it's larger screen and other capabilities, but size and cost were both issues. The Sony, being closer to book size, is easier to carry around.
