Still debatable, as the substance of this thread shows. The white to black ratio, color/greyscale, text rendering, DPI, etc. are closer to quality print in LCDs than with e-ink. Whether or not that translates into "readability" or whether paper is even the gold standard to begin with is more taste (and bad reading habits) than science.
Even if you accept paper as a gold standard, no one takes a paper document and puts it through processes in order to make it more like e-ink... and many of those gaps are where LCD is superior.
What all scientists agree on is that good habits matter more than anything else... so even if LCD didn't exist and your only option was e-ink- or paper for that matter- you STILL should be reading with breaks, appropriate lighting, etc. Given that those good habits all but eliminate eyestrain together, it makes the display itself somewhat immaterial.
I'm not sure- "The best way for reading badly"- is really an advantage to be proud of!
