But the problem is that you appear to be replacing pseudo-science with pseudo-science. No, I'm not convinced that it's a simple reflective vs direct thing (given all the filters involved, LCD could hardly be described as direct anyway). But there remain a myriad of technical and implementation differences, and any combination of these might go some way to explaining people's reactions.
I think is is clear that in BOTH those that answered Yes and those that answered No there are a range of reasons why. Look at kyteflyer's response in the post above where it appears that simply the size/proportion has played a significant role in what is comfortable.
Such responses make me wonder if MR sees a greater proportion of people with accessibility issues largely because electronic reading devices of all types help people to resolve those issues, and so this, too, might go some way to explaining the results of this poll.
