I love my Kindle.

The headaches seem to be linked to low contrast. Again, I think this would be different from the Kindle 3.

What generation Kindle do you have? It's not listed in your profile.

I have a Kindle 2. The K3 is indeed better, but it still is too low contrast for me. I hope that Sony will bring out it's color e-ink in short order and Amazon adopts it in a future Kindle. It's funny. I carry both a Kindle and an iphone when I travel. I use the Kindle only for internet access, I use the iphone as the ereader.

You seem to prefer reading on backlit LCD type screens? Why are you looking for e-ink devices?

I don't agree about the e-ink screen in general, but I do agree about the browser. I really, really wish there were an option to render all text as black in the browser to avoid this issue!
