I never had to get used to anything. Like everyone else, I'd had "Eye-strain! Eye-strain!" drummed into my head until I believed it was actually an inherent flaw of LCD tablet screens. Then I got one; read a book with it; noticed absolutely nothing out of the ordinary or even remotely eye-strainey; read another and another; figured people were just nuts* and never looked back. I read for many hours each day on it. No headaches, no squinting, no strain. I still don't get what the big deal/difference is supposed to be.
Eink readers dissing tablet readers is the new pbook clingers dissing ebooks. "Its not the same! How can you do that? I'll never switch! LCD smells weird."
* I obviously don't think people who have medical conditions with their eyes "nuts."
