This might not bother you, but it concerns me.
It's not impossible to read on an LCD screen. I do it all the time. And before I got my 500, I used to read on my computer LCD monitor and a fairly old laptop LCD screen. And we have two LCD TVs as well. I have no eye strain at all. I have no idea where the idea that LCD causes eyestrain comes from. If LCD was that bad, then computer monitors would still be CRTs and so would TVs.
