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.

I have to wonder what are the percentages involved. You say that LCD doesn't cause eye strain for you like it does for me, but what percentage of the market are the two different viewpoints. Ultimately that is where the market will go. Towards what is the most comfortable situation for the greatest number of people that is. I mean if say 25% of LCD users say they aren't suffering eye strain from using it and that same 25% do suffer eye strain using eink then that means 75% will be suffering eye strain on LCD and probably won't be while using eink. Of course those are just example percentages and I do wonder what the actual numbers are.
