Agreed. I'm the same with physical reading materials. Stuff on a bright white page (like say Newsweek and other mags) gets my eyes tired much faster than a grayer paper like a newspaper or some paperbacks.
As for why e-ink screens are grey, I have no idea whether it was done deliberately to reduce eyestrain or if that's just the limitation of the technology. i.e. maybe it's hard to have a white screen that's not backlit or LCD etc. currently?
