Many people suffer no ill effects from reading for long periods on backlit LCDs, and so I thought it unnecessary to suggest it as an absolute effect. I will revise to make it less offensive.
IMO there is no need to revise your original post. There is a gazillion posts on this forum arguing pros and cons of reading on backlit as oppose to non-back-lit screens.
I personally prefer non-back-lit as LCD does hurt my eyes. But since I spend about 8 hours starting at the computer monitor a day, this may well be the culprit. I have what my optometrist calls "lazy eyes" - meaning that I do not move my eyes often enough to allow them to re-focus. This problem affects me no matter what I read - I only find that non-back-lit screens aren't as bad.

Great work on the write up though, karma to you!
