I'd like to see some studies that show the superiority of e-ink for eye strain beyond just household anecdote "well it's much easier for me" or "well it's REFLECTIVE and it doesn't need to FLICKER, idiot!"
Battery consumption I'll definitely give in favor to bistables, and a nod in bright daylight viewability, but I'm not 100% sure I buy the whole "backlit is bad for the eyes!" mantra.
Then again, if I want a wholly superior viewing surface for text, I use paper. Much better in every way than e-ink, except that the pages accumulate in thickness much more quickly. Too bad really.
