It can and should be very comfortable reading on a tablet. You have so much control over the light level than reading a book by lamplight or sunlight.
If your pupils are stressed trying to make themselves small....you have the brightness set too high.
The advantage of eInk and paper is that the light level is equal to the ambient light level. You can adjust your tablets light to ALSO be in balance with the room light.

I know that many people can read comfortably on LCD tablets or phones. If it works for you, great.
I've tried to read on my phone and no matter how I adjusted the settings I had eyestrain issues if I read for more than a short time. It's ok for a few minutes but if I want to spend several hours on the weekend reading I just can't do it on LCD. I know there are a few others on Mobileread who have reported the same thing. Everyone's eyes are different.
If reading on a tablet works for you, fine, but please don't assume that tweaking the settings will make it work for everyone.
