On: Ask HN: Does there exist an actually useful ebook reader?

[humility]

Yes, I'm looking for an epaper solution since my eyes get readily fatigued while staring at an LCD, which I have to do a lot.

Hmmm... that sounds like you might need glasses (or updating your prescription if you already have ones).

Several of my coworkers were prescribed glasses for the same problem. Go visit your ophtalmologist.

Edit: emph_zealot's suggestion looks like exactly what you need, but I'd still have my eyesight checked if I were you.

thanks for your suggestion, but let me clarify- I read books to wane off the fatigue caused by looking at the computer screen for long intervals; this purpose would be defeated if I were to use another lcd screen!

Also, my eyes are in perfect health as verified by a recent checkup, but I appreciate the advice. Thanks again.

If you are reading on an LCD screen, please also give flux / twilight / redshift a try. They adapt the colour temperature at night.

Have you tried the "dark" theme in iBooks?

My wife can't read long text if it's black text on white but in that mode she's fine.
