I don't see anywhere that the study looked at people who have problems reading on a backlit screen. If the backlight doesn't bother you, then it's not going to bother you. If you study a group of people who aren't bothered by backlights, then the conclusion will be that the backlight doesn't cause any problems.
I'm not sure about the resolution. An Aura HD has a 265 dpi resolution, as well as the best lighting system I have seen. It is actually quite good with ridiculously small fonts (when my eyes are not tired!).
