I guess I just have weird eyes. My physical shows they are excellent with viewing the chart from far off, 15/20 vision. I can see far away fine and no strain when reading - but if relax eyes close up there is blur. My issue is with color contrast. I have more trouble seeing at night when driving, and sometimes watching a movie in a theater or at home with the lights off will give me a headache and eye strain. E-Ink readers don't bother me at all, and when I read Twitter on my phone in dark mode it's fine. I am fine browsing on the computer for eyes at home and on my work laptop; my large work monitor hurts my eyes and is too bright/close to my eyes, there is no way to adjust it, so I frequently get eye strain and headaches with it. I have turned the monitor brightness down as much as possible.

Reading on tablets does tend to give me eye strain and headaches. E-Ink readers don't bother my eyes. Everyone's eyes are different so of course mileage will vary depending on who is answering. The tablet is fine indoors for short periods, but not outside at all because I'm sensitive to glare. I had the same issue to a small degree with the PW4 outside because, despite what amazon claims, there can be a small amount of glare outside compared to the PW3 because it does pick up smudges with the screen change.

Oddly while my eyes are sensitive to brightness, I have the brightness turned up higher on my e-ink because when it is "dimmer", it causes eye strain, I guess because of the text contrast getting more washed out. I also can't read comfortably in dark mode at all so do not use that.

I do find my eyes lighter the warmth light. I think my issue is something with color, both dark and white, so it's picky with contrast settings.
