If you don't read enough that LCD screens will give you a headache after the many hours of reading then it probably means buying a dedicated reading device is also not in your best interest. Use your computer if you don't read enough to justify getting an e-reader, don't use a half-baked iTampon.

There are people on this board who have been reading on lcd based displays for many many years. Certainly alot longer than eink based devices have been around. Everyone is different but even I'm (someone who's a big advocate of eink over lcd) getting a bit tired of all the constant posts telling people they WILL get eyestrain and headaches reading on lcd screens.
Millions of people all over the world use lcd screens for hours on end for work and leisure with no ill effect. Are they ideal for reading? Probably not but to state that reading on one will case eyestrain and migrianes is just ridiculous. I'm sure anyone who is going to buy an iPad knows full well how they cope with lcd technology.
