Ereader Eye Strain

nook or kindle 3 ereader?

i have the nook color right now and while i can read on it....i dont particularly like reading on it...the lcd screen cause me to have eye strain or headaches but just looking at it seems to blind me....when i blink i see the text lines and i just dont find it as pleasant as i though..

so now i will go for an e ink reader...so which one kindle or nook?
the lcd screen DOESNT cause me to have eye strain***....

In short:

> Don't go for Nook Color. It's using backlight screen like computer screen, and is difficult to our eyes. Just not suitable for reading purpose.

> Choose the Nook if you want to be:
- Able to borrow ebooks from library to your ebook reader
- Able to read books in epub format (without need of conversion) on your ebook reader

> Choose the Kindle if you want to be:
- Able to have free 3G wireless access
- Able to download books and use 3G wireless even you're outside of the United States
- Able to have text-to-speech function to read books to you like audio books

There is also quite a good review for comparison between the two here:

   Eyestrain, Computer Eyestrain

   It is inevitable that you have suffered from eyestrain at one point or another. Eyestrain is perhaps the most common affliction that the information age has brought us and there are absolutely no signs of it ever decreasing. Many times, however, you may not even be aware of it.

   Unsuspected eyestrain can be associated with twitching of the eyelids and face. It can be responsible for nausea and vomiting, bad nutrition and loss of appetite, headaches, and many other similar conditions. Have you ever experienced blurred or double vision? Perhaps flickering or flashing sensations? Your eyes are trying to tell you something.

   Eyestrain inevitably develops after lengthy use of the eyes as in sitting in front of a computer, writing, reading or other detailed work. Poor lighting conditions also cause stress in the eye muscles as they strain to focus properly and present clear images to the brain.

   Prolonged use of the eyes – as well as the stress and tension of day-to-day living – cause a tightening of the delicate eye muscles and also the facial muscles around the nose, cheeks and temples. I can easily demonstrate this to you right now: For a moment, direct you attention to your face and try to relax your facial muscles. Go on, give it a try. You may be quite surprised at how much they were clenched up.

   This facial tightness leads to reduced blood circulation and thus compounds the agonising effects of eye fatigue. The resultant eyestrain eventually manifests itself in everything from burning eyes and blurred vision, to headaches, migraines and may even trigger cluster headache attacks.

   Id agree that the internet has been growing strongly since 2004/5, I believe it is because of the technology of yesterday is now available today, at considerably lower costs, if you look back 10 years how much did a home computer cost? An extreme amount of money hence why very few one used/owned one.

   Today computers and internet subscriptions are all affordable by the average income and with the development of current devices such as Smart-phones and tablets as well as websites like Facebook and online shopping eBay, Asda etc.

   Because of the continue development and lowering costs of the technology this is why I believe that the popularity of the Internet has grown in the past 6 years and is still continuing to grow.

   Thanks nan for joining us in the OnLine world
