RE: The Apple iPad and the future of e-ink ebook readers

Who cares about ophthamologists and studies?
The question is do you enjoy reading on the device?  Do you read for hour
after hour?  Or do you get drowsy and stop after a chapter or so?
For me, reading on the Kindle is a pleasure, and reading on a computer is
work.

Best wishes.

Richard

According to ophthalmologists, backlighting is not bad for the eyes UNLESS
you are in a darkened room. With an appreciable amount of ambient light,
they say it's no worse than any other reading. In a darkened room, the
single area of light is not good. They also highly suggest reading from a
screen for vision impaired patients, since they say it's EASIER on the eyes
than the printed page. Just what I've heard from them. If they have studies
to back it, I don't have them.


And just to note, I got the original information from Kate S on this list,
but I checked it with my son's doctor...and he concurred.
