Monitors strain my eyes. My computers run with brightness on 0 (which is insanely bright for 0), and what I do stare at all day (code), I use black on gray to reduce the contrast. Much less painful than black on white all day, and white on black is the same high-contrast strain.

If I had more options with an LCD e-book reader, such as adjusting the colors, I would be fine. But since I haven't heard of one, it's what makes e-ink so attractive.

I should note however, I never used to be bothered. Took 4 years away from flashing screens before I noticed it.
