In all honesty, I think a lot of it has to do with people being a little too focused on the devices themselves. It's easy for some to get caught up in the "splotchy lighting" and ergonomic "failures" of the devices they seem to want to fall in love with. I've been able to avoid all that by staying focused on loving the content more than the delivery system. From my first unlit eink screen to my latest lcd tablet (and everything in between): they have all disappeared completely after a few pages of a good book on them. Just like the black borders disappeared after a while when watching letterbox formatted movies on old 4:3 screens.
And it probably has something to do with eyes. Mine have never been able to pick out the horrific splotchiness, the uneven lighting, and the odd colorations that people insist I should be able to see. *shrug*
I count my blessings at not being born a screen-ophile. Those who were have my sympathy.
