This just goes to show how different we all are. I had been using a Palm T3 and then PocketLoox N560 (Fujitsu-Siemends) PDAs for reading many moons before e-Ink devices hit the market. I never was happy with reading back-lit devices in the dark. The eye strain was just too distracting.
With PDAs it may have been the font size also that didn't agree with me. Mind you, I had no such problems reading off PDAs in normal light, although I still prefer e-Ink.
At the moment I'm using my wife's PRS-300 for bed time reading with a reading light, and have no issues.
