On a somewhat similar note to the question regarding eyestrain and LCD screens, I have heard quite a number of people claim that they do a better job at catching errors when proofreading when they are reading from a printed page than staring at a computer screen. I, for one, find that to be the case. But, I've never attempted to see how proofreading on an eteader compares to proofreading on a computer vs the printed page experience.
But, perhaps it has nothing to do with the screen and more to do with the elapsed time which comes from printing off what you have written as I can usually catch even more mistakes the further away in time I am from my initial draft.

On the light, easy way to find out if the light is too high, just turn it down a bit and see.
On proofreading on paper, you can't accidently bump the mouse when trying to reach for s highlighter.
