It was a revelation for me. However, I didn't cancel my eye strain problem completely. I would still get eye strain but it would take longer to cause discomfort.
Do you understand what I am saying? There was no eInk back then. I didn't read anything about LCD causing eye strain or anything like that. It was my personal experience. The only warning that I had came from my friend. He told me that yes, LCD is much better than CRT but many people still complain about it. He said, that LCD doesn't bother him, he can read for hours without any problem.
I never read ebooks because I could not.

Repeat. I started to use LCD in Jan 2005. No knowledge of eInk or backlit monitor related issues. Pure personal experience.
