Going by my own personal experiences I've read books off of CRT monitors, LCD (monitors, PDA and smartphone) and eInk and that's the order they are in decreasing amounts of eye strain after prolonged reading.
I find eInk to be by far the best technology for actually sitting down and
reading books which entails focussing on text over a prolonged period as opposed to say using a browser on a monitor where you are constantly looking around the screen and away from it.
