It's probably what we get used to. Since I teach online and students submit
work online, I have learned to read their papers and grade without printing
them out. 

 

I have trifocals and read 4 hours yesterday on my e-book (the new Dan Brown
Book, The Lost Symbol, was hard to put down and it was a Sunday) - no
eyestrain and no headache. The trifocals came much before the e-book, so we
can't blame the e-book for that. And  my first pair of glasses came in 7th
grade after an eyestrain from reading too many print publications
(old-fashioned books). 

 

Since it is possible to read PDF files on the e-book, I also transfer
publications from my computer and read them through the e-book too. 

 

Before deciding it's not for you, borrow one from a friend to see what it's
really like.
