The impending release of the iPad will likely raise issues of eye-strain. Because the iPad uses a different, but more versatile technology, some may assume that lengthy reading tasks such as reading text book will cause eye strain when compared to devices such as the Kindle. I do like the Kindle, but I had thought the advantage was a much less reflective screen surface allowing me to read in more and brighter settings. A recent NYTime article addresses eye strain and as I understand the main arguement the issue with eye strain is more an issue of the reader having to adjust to the position of the device rather than the device to the position of the reader. I would interpret this to mean a tablet device should be less of a problem than reading from a laptop or desktop display.
