How much truth is there to that? I want the apps and everything else that comes with it, but there won't be a point if I can't actually read books on it for a long period of time.

Any backlit screen is naturally going to be tougher on your eyes than an e-Ink screen, but I've read on it for 2-3 hours straight without any really noticeable eye fatigue.
I use Aldiko as an e-reader app which has some excellent brightness and theme options to help with that. The stock Nook app has a lot of the same settings. You can swap the "paper color" from white to beige or black with white text depending on the lighting or whatever.
I, for one, read at night mostly, and putting the reader app on "night mode" and the brightness down doesn't wear out my eyes even in the dark.
ETA: I should probably mention that I stare at a computer screen for about 10 hours a day as is, so my eyes may be more accustomed to an LCD screen than most...
