Okay. I didn't read the article, but:
- Human eyes get strained if you stare intently too long at anything. E-paper, paper, LCD, CRT, rock - anything.
- Human eyes get strain from staring at a intense light source, such as LCD, a light globe, etc.
- Human eyes get less strained when looking at reflected light. So E-paper and paper have the advantage here (as long as the reflected light is at a reasonable level - staring at the Moon not so much).
- Human eyes can get strained by flashing lights. Bad refresh rate LCD, CRT, lights flickering at the supermarket, whatever. E-paper and paper have the advantage here.
- Human eyes get strained when looking at excess detail. Looking at far distances without optical assistance can do this, and I suppose 1080i displays for the wrinkles on a baby would do this.

I really don't know what the agenda here is and frankly I don't care. I'm satisfied my Sony Reader isn't wrecking my eyes any more than paper reading does.
If you're concerned about sore eyes with your epaper, stop blaming the epaper.
Use common sense people!
