My eyes generally have been much better reading on an LCD screen compared to paper books and my original Kindle Keyboard. Even for 8-10 hours a day, which I could never do with a paper book or KK and still be able to see. I remember reading a paperback on a plane trip and I could barely see to get off the plane. Shocking, I know.
I think it's because I have a significant contrast sensitivity issue. I do much better with an ereader that has very even frontlighting, but even then I have to make sure I have the lighting just right to prevent eye tension. LCDs don't cause me any eyestrain or fatigue.
I love my Likebook Mimas, but I can't say it's any better for my eyes than a sharp LCD/OLED screen. I just prefer the battery life and features.
