So I am not able to easily test these effects for myself.

I also have full correction for my astigmatism now, with my new pair of glasses that I got a few months ago. Before that I had partial correction (only one plane) in my lenses. The transition was extremely difficult, and took about 6 weeks.
BUT (and here's the kicker), I also have a bit of distance correction in one eye. So, my Dr. recommended perhaps NOT reading with my glasses on. But that makes the LCD WAY too strenuous (it looks like mud and fonts that are perfectly readable and sharp with my glasses are unreadable without them) so it is a non-starter (although the HDX is more readable than my Nexus 7 was when using the Kindle app without my glasses). The e-ink is probably better than the LCD when I am not wearing my glasses. It's a mess.
I may have to get a second pair of glasses with the full correction for astigmatism in them but WITHOUT the distance correction in the one eye for reading and doing things inside, and use this pair of glasses that has the full works for going outside.
Ugh, what a pain.
