But if I try to read on a front-lit eReader my eyes start having serious focusing problems within a half an hour. LCD screens aren't as bad, but my eyes get tired when using them also.
It's not reading on the Kindle that makes my eyes tired, per se, it's the other things I do throughout the day. Working on the computer, (If I have to debug code that day, I can guarantee super-sized font at bedtime) too much driving can make my eyes tired, especially if it's a rainy day, too much pollen in the air, or if the air is too dry (or both). My eyes just have always been a pain my...ANYWAY...the invention of the e-reader, with adjustable font sizes, changed my life. Now it doesn't matter what the day throws at me, I know that I will still be able to read before I go to sleep.

It's a beautiful thing.
