IMO – reading an eBook on an LCD screen is not directly bad but you can’t read long enough and you cannot read it under direct sunlight. Plus, usually you can’t hold the screen in your hand and move it around to suit your posture. So all combined, it can strain your eyes and give you bad posture.

As for phone screens, you really have to squint to see the words or you have to display about half a paragraph at a time.

Your article implies that Amazon’s “Kindle for PC” will be bad for your eyes and unsuitable, or do you think that this program will really make a laptop into a viable eBook reader?
