And I don't think it had the flash that the eink did, but I might be mistaken on that.
The reason I'm asking this is I get horrible headaches and eye strain from reading on an lit lcd screen, both tablet and laptop. (yes, I take many many breaks during the day from the laptop) I also have astigmatism, which seems to be a recurrent theme here with the eye strain group. So I am wondering, if the Jetbook had an unlit lcd screen, and I got no eye strain form it, is it the light that is the problem? I haven't tried reading on a Paperwhite yet, which is also lit, so I don't know if that causes me eye strain or not.
Just throwing this out there, please don't blast me too harshly. I don't care what anyone reads on, just don't take my eink away please!! I would have to go back to paperback before I could do a tablet. Believe me, I wish my eyes were better, and the older I get, the worse they get. Bummer.

I have a JetBook Lite, and it has a non-backlit LCD screen, no flash. It's my first e-reader, which I bought after seeing the flashing Kindle and Nook.
I don't know why the biggies use e-ink instead, since the non-backlit LCD seems to be just as easy on the eyes, without the flash.
