I foresee some huge improvements enroute for readers, and fixing this problem is one of them. I think that the whole e-ink thing is almost a hoax, myself, when people claim it prevents eye strain. I can read for hours on my Nokia N800 or N810, no problem.
But a time will come soon when there will be a really superb reader, in color, but very eye-friendly. (one thing about color that I found on my Nokias is that light blue seems a lot gentler on my eyes than most other colors, and better than grey or black and white).

Well, we are all entitled to our opinions. I really like the "ink-on-paper" display and I think it is half of the benefit of reading on a good eReader. Will it last long term? I am not sure. But in the interim, I hope these displays continue to proliferate. I like the look and I think it is way better than reading via a back-lit computer-style screen. Long live the book in electronic formats!
