When reading on an lcd screen the light from the white background is projecting at your eyes. On an e-ink display the light from the white background has bounced off of that background, diffusing it and doing who knows what else to all of those photons. With an lcd screen it feels like I'm shining a light at my face (no matter how low it's turned down while remaining usable), which it does not with an e-ink display. And on an lcd display changing the background to tan or gray doesn't help, I still feel like I'm shining a light at my face.
