Imagine hundreds of millions of students in this world replacing their paper books with a single color ereader (12-13") to study...
It is not interesting, it goes!
does a backlit display do the same yes... NO.
Hopefully goodereader approaches for once and soon we will see these devices on the market.

I love e-ink, but it has a long way to go to reach the clarity of backlit screens for magazines and comics.

My eyesight has always been excellent. Well until I turned 46 and then I started needing glasses for reading. My mother has Macular Degeneration and I see my Ophthalmologist twice a year and so far there is no sign of Macular Degeneration. That said, I have always read constantly. If I have a few minutes I will pull out a book and start reading. I have been staring and reading on backlit devices since I got my first computer. I also like to play FPS games online. I read on a Surface Pro. I read a lot and my Ophthalmologist hasn't seen any damage at all from reading or anything else. I do think that if millions of student thought as you do I might have seen some indication of that in the news or even from the Medical Establishment.
