Curious here.
Do you read exclusively on your phones, or are they 'when I forgot my device' standbys?
If you read on them, do you have issues with the size, or are you happy with the reading experience?

I've only ever read on a Palm device or my computer (only when desperate!). The Kindle/Sony interest me, but I don't think a dedicated device is right for my lifestyle right now. I refuse to go AT&T for an iPhone, and I don't want to go back to carrying two devices by buying an iPod Touch (I had a Palm TX and a Treo at one point).
I do miss the TX's larger screen, but I don't regret selling it. The Treo's portability and single-device outweigh that for me.
One of the ways I've made it easier on the eyes is that both eReader and Mobipocket are set to brown screen, cream text. I originally did it for night time reading, because even on its dimmest, the backlight could be too bright at night.
But brown/cream is surprisingly easy on the eyes at *any* time of day. So now I just play with backlight levels - lowest at night, and middle for daytime and high for outdoors. With the Treo's keyboard, it's a 1 button thing and Dpad combo to slide the backlight, no menus required.
I get way more eye strain reading off my computer (although anti-glare lenses for my glasses did help - I stare at spreadsheets all day).
