Imagine reading the newspaper with a bright spotlight shining right into your face from behind the thin newspaper page. That's basically how it feels for ones eyes to read on backlit LCD screens.
Sure the backlights are not exactly directionnal spots but more like spreading the light in a wider angle, still the basic idea is that the experience is like staring into a light bulb. Especially if you do that for extended periods of time. Even if you don't really notice it too much because you try to concentrate on the content on the screen, your eyes do actually go under the same kind of stress as looking at the sun for extended periods of time.
My main point here is that Pixel Qi does have exactly as good colors and backlight as any regular LCD screen, it just ads a second mode that provides readable very low power fully reflective mode for having the optimal ambient light reflection mode making the experience of reading books much much easier on the eye, not even considering the 10x increased battery runtime.
