The problem with reading books on pc's or laptop has to do more with ergonomics than eyestrain. When you read a print book you are focused on it, there is nothing outside it so to speak, but on a pc/laptop you have 2 choices:
- full screen and then horizontal layout which is against your usual reading experience
- vertical layout in your favourite reading software and then you have the rest of the screen as annoyance
On a tablet you can do vertical full screen but there are other problems (weight, heat, noise from the fan...)
