Don't you think that those who uncomfortable reading LCD screens would figure out how to use the brightness setting? It didn't take me long to grasp that. The problem is there's a point where an LCD screen is too dim to read comfortably. So you're "between a rock and hard place" as they say.

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.

Well, in my case it's probably caused by Bell's Palsy and the the issues it caused in my right eye. But I would imagine people who've never had Bell's Palsy (or something else) might just be more sensitive to emitted light than they are to reflective light. I don't know what the science is or is supposed to be, I just know what is, personally, in my case.
What I don't understand is why anyone should care what device someone is comfortable or uncomfortable in using. Dedicated eReader (used ones) are plentiful and cheap (as are tablets). I figure whichever works best for the one reading, that's what they should use.
