I think a big part of the issue is the fact that the dedicated eink ereaders hit the market hard with the "easy on the eyes 'cause it's just like paper!" marketing strategy. Which made sense, of course, because they had no lighting technology of their own at that point. Now that they're all lighted, I don't believe there's much scientific difference any more, to tell the truth. But "easy on the eyes" had already become the dedicated ereader mantra by that point.
I'm not saying that some people aren't more sensitive than others. I just don't personally believe that--lumen for lumen--there's much difference between reflected vs. backlighting when it's hitting the back of your eyeballs. Variance in pixel-density/fuzziness; I understand.
Happy everybody has choices, though. Because I'm not looking to convince/convert anybody. *shrug*
