LEDs don't solve the problem for me.
My netbook is backlit by LEDs and I cannot read texts on it for longer than 15 minutes without feeling eye strain.

I work with computers every day, all day long. Working with a computer, such as browsing the Internet, typing in word, editing pictures is a whole different kettle of fish experience. It cannot be compared to "a static" reading of text. At the very least it is different for me. I am not saying I don't get tired but not as fast. Also, it is unavoidable. On the other hand, reading fantasy is a pure relaxation for me and when I read printed books my eyes don't get tired, eInk grants me the same gift.
