It's a matter of degree. You are speaking of black on white, and I'd bet in a decently lit room. A VERY bright white light in the dark...I'm gonna bet that will fry your eyes and every one else.
I'm not speaking of "I like the original eInk dark beige on light beige" low contrast scenario.
More like "when I walk into my office at night and turn on the computer monitor in a dark room"...kinda contrast.
Even with my new paper white, it doesn't have near the contrast "in the nice way" that my iPad mini has. And under regular room light, the iPad mini is easier to read on because of that -- IMHO.
Rather than blame "direct vs indirect light" - we are talking about "when your eyes pupils are dilated to see in very dim or no light --- and then you come across a very bright light". It hurts because you aren't supposed to have your pupils wide open when bright light appears.
