Well, I think you are wrong here. Maybe you don't feel it (I mean some people can read from LCD 12 hours a day and don't feel it) but all the screens with backlights are unhealthy for your eyes to a certain degree. The only real solution is eInk, AFAIK, (fortunatelly or unfortunatelly, I don't know, probably the latter because it probably restricts use of some features that would be possible with different technology). However, for me it is the reason why I bought sony.
