I really like my Kindle.
My mom got a Kindle for Christmas. I was blown away at that e-ink screen. Very cool. I know that CRT monitors/TVs cause eye strain for a number of reasons, low refresh rate, radiation, and due to a false focal point. Your eyes actually focus on a point well behind the screen. LCDs are much better, no radiation, better focal point but not perfect. I think this e-ink screen has no different focal point than paper with ink print on it, plus you don't have to worry about ambient light. Very cool stuff.
