I can't read on iPad for more than 30-40 minutes indoors with brightness at 50-60 % let alone 70-80%, but with brightness at about 20-25 % and using ultra matte anti-glare protectors I can read for many hours without any eye strain.
The same is true with LCD monitors, I can use it all day & night long without the eye strain, but only if brightness, contrast and gamma levels were lowered significantly, with those levels at 50-60 % I'd feel the eye strain quickly.
If I want to read on iPad outdoors under the sun, I'd use a folded A2 peace of black drawing paper as a sun-shade (+ sunglasses & sun visor cap + ultra matte anti-glare screen protector) with brightness level at 35-40 %, and I can read for hours without the eye strain.
