And for the avid readers, there will be tradeoffs in eye strain, ability to read in sunlight, battery life etc. Just the nature of the screen tech, added power needed for the other functions, vs. a dedicated reader with an e-ink screen.
Eye strain is caused by visually concentrating on one thing or one distance for too long. There is no basis to the claim that LCD displays cause eye strain. However, as with any light source, if it is set too bright it can cause discomfort. Heck, just the act of reading can cause eye strain. But low contrast screens (as in e-ink) can be a source of eye stain.
