As a newbie exploring ebook readers with a view to acquisition (which looks as though it may be difficult enough in OZ) I would be interested in any comments regarding eye strain with these devices.

I wear glasses for reading (due to the aging process) and eye strain is an issue for me when using a PC for extended periods. Invariably when I have something I need to read on the PC I will print it out as I find it less tiring on the eyes to read in hard copy.

Ereader promotional material I have read seems to claim that they are similar to reading a hard copy book in so far as eye strain is concerned and as this is a significant consideration for me I would be interested in hearing from users, in a similar position, about their experience regarding eye strain.

Thanks
