Haha, yup. So all you need is a sturdy 23" book stand, a desk, and a lamp... and you've hit the spec. What about the books? Well, like any e-reader, you've got to get them separately... then put it on that stand and read in glorious reflective paper display!

Of course, hysterical people might claim your hefty (but paper perfect) e-reader is going to render you blind if your lamp is too bright or dim with respect to ambient lighting, so... of course, adjust, your reflection angle, your lamp brightness, and your ambient lighting as good habits demand...

...whether paper or otherwise, good habits negate any meaningful eyestrain difference between modern displays, period. Any hysterical shrieking to the contrary is just fear-mongering ignoring good habits. Nothing out there says, "Abandon all hope ye who adopt [X display]"... to the contrary, every expert merely endorses good habits.
