Just the other day I was at the eye doctor. In the waiting room there were the regular magazines about cars and surgicaly enhanced stars. But also a few pages about eye health and about medicine. Browsing through it I came to one that was telling about the problems generated by the blue light at the end of the visible spectrum, close to the ultraviolets. Over time these frequencies give permanent blurry spots, in a way you get dead pixels. That light comes from the old CRTs, but also from LED lights, so much used today. Doc is not one of those snake oil sellers that would give you the magic spray to block the cell phone radiation or any of the hopeopathic junk.
In short, I hope the eInk is here to stay. Or I'm back to paper. There is still a long list of issues that electronic devices can't have and paper has.
