"eInk is better for your eyes as reading on devices, science says, is bad for your eyes". This is bunk. Not that there aren't studies that make such claims....and are repeated uncritically in many publications. But they have ALL been TERRIBLE "science" so far.

I don't know the science, but I know from experience that LED screens cause "dry-eye" in my right eye (if I use my laptop, tablet or desktop too long I have to lubricate my eye with drops). Probably because I had Bell's Palsy. Front lit readers don't do this. I can read for hours without this issue. That's basically all the "science" I need on this subject. I don't know the "hows or whys" what I know is the results in my case.

I don't know if "dry-eye" is permanently damaging or not, but I DO know that the fact that it is very uncomfortable is not bunk. And that this is one of several reasons why I prefer an eInk Reader.
