Using backlit tablets for extended periods gives me really bad eye strain. I tried reading on my (high-res) iPad when I first got it, and after an hour my eyes were hurting too bad to continue.
AFAIK this is caused by eyes drying due to reduced blink rate. All backlit tablets will have this problem.
Therefore, I still buy old-school books and print out material when I need to read it in-depth.
Does no-one else think this is a concern when giving young children tablets as a replacement for non-backlit books?

- jimzvz 14y agoI agree completely, I would have hated to have to read my text books on a backlit screen.
- meaty 14y agoNo one cares about this until about 3 months in at which point they are going to have to put up with it. This is why known a kobo and a computer and nothing else. You just can't read on a backlit device.
