It shouldn't come as a surprise. The reason you don't have to change the brightness of an eInk screen is that it's always the same brightness as the rest of the room.

Your eye can't tell if the light hitting it is reflected off a page or comes straight from a monitor. Your eye CAN tell that said light is TOO bright. So adjust the brightness of the screen to match the ambient light and a good deal of the eye strain goes away.

Bring the device closer -- like where you'd read a book, and adjust the font size. You'll find you have a very nice reading experience.
