While I have no doubt this is what some (maybe many) people experience, it is absolutely not true in my case. I can read indefinitely on a properly adjusted, backlit LCD tablet screen with no discernible eyestrain (at least no worse than the eyestrain I would get from reading a physical book, or from an eInk device, for the same length of time).

I think it's time that people stop declaring that LCD is worse for "eyestrain" than eInk as incontrovertible, universal fact. I've personally met too many people (and heard from many more) who defy this so called "rule" to continue to believe that mileage doesn't vary in this regard--a lot.

So how about we restrict our opinions (with regard to device eyestrain) to what does or doesn't strain our own eyes and and allow others to do the same.
