And it is a difference whether you look into the light source or look at something illuminated (not mirrored).

which shows that in addition to the color filters, the light passes through two polarizing filters and the liquid crystal itself, which modifies the polarization.

You look more directly into the e-ink frontlight than the LCD backlight.

I strongly prefer reading on e-ink. I am not claiming there is no difference between reading on LCD and reading on e-ink. But I do insist that superstition is not a valid source of explanation.
