Not everyone who reads is tech savvy. The studies that purport to show reading on devices harm the eyes...never mention turning the brightness down. People who have testifies as to why they don’t like reading on devices have brought up computer monitor reading...where it’s not as easy to adjust brightness.
And most importantly.....even those of us who like reading on devices get tired eyes if our device brightness is too high. So why wouldn’t one at least ask the question? Have you tried turning down the brightness? Or choosing light on dark instead of black on white.
There is a reason why I get car sick watching first person immersive games. Has to do with they eyes communicating something different than what the ears expect with regard to motion. Doesn’t affect everybody but does affect me.
I’m still trying to peg just what it is that folks who don’t like reading on devices are reading too. It’s not “direct light vs bounced light”. Is it the refresh rate? It can’t be the dpi as screens long have surpassed eInk in that and contrast,
Is there something different about the light spectrum?
It’s gotta be something as enough people report the problem. However, it’s nothing that I’ve heard put forward as a large majority would share the experience if the usual suspects were indeed the problem.
