I said no. I never could read text on a CRT or backlit LCD for long periods comfortably.
Even as a tech and developer, if I have to read a lot of source code or documentation, I have always printed it out if possible.
And honestly, I prefer non-lit eInk readers as well, though it's a different sort of discomfort. I didn't read this whole thread, but I think the softness of the diffuser has already been brought up, and I think that's part of it.
A crisp non-lit eInk screen with a good reading lamp over my shoulder would be my preference. Still, if I had to choose between my phone or a Paperwhite to read in bed at night, I'd go with the paperwhite.
I am nearsighted and now wear progressives most of the time, or intermediate computer glasses when working on the computer, but for long reading stints, I prefer to take my glasses off.
