Edit: after reading a bit more on the thread, and the discussion, what is a PC? For me, a PC is a thing that sits on a table/desk, with a fixed monitor, keyboard and mouse (though they might be wireless...) So, Windows 8 tablets I do not put in the PC category...
Nor laptops for that matter. But I don't like reading on laptops either, because I don't like to read in landscape mode, but prefer portrait.

I would never read at the desk for prolonged periods of time though, but in the bed or some comfortable chair, with lcd monitor and mouse connected to the laptop or desktop pc wirelessly or by wire.
It's even easier and more comfortable for me than using tablets for surfing and reading.
I think that (inside the house) I would use 20" lcd monitor for pdfs almost as frequently as I would 10" tablets and eink and less frequently for epubs.
My brightness/contrast settings for lcd monitors and tablets are always near the minimum, and I can read for hours without an eye strain that way.
