Tested out my NST w/Glowlight again and decided -- "no, it's not just my imagination, it causes eyestrain for me." Then I read some more reviews for the Kindle Paperwhite and realized that there are quite a few people who've posted on the Internet who find that they cause eyestrain. (I'm sure it's a minority, but still it seems to be a fairly sizable one.) The "glowlight" reading experience is completely different from using an LED light shining down on the E-Ink surface (which has never been a problem for me). Also that lighting layer definitely makes the "glowlight" models less clear.
So I went ahead and ordered a Kindle Basic (took advantage of the sale) to use as a backup, or to give away at some point. I sure hope Amazon doesn't quit selling this model. As far as I can tell, it has the darkest, clearest font -- although my NST (standard) is pretty close.
