I had a nxtpaper 3 TCL40 and it was very poor as an ereader (in general the device was disappointing so I returned it). They're backlit and refresh like regular phone/tablet screens - both of which cause more eyestrain than e-ink (bistable, not backlit). The epaper marketing for them is misleading.
