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...

I've never had a problem looking at a screen for long periods of time either so I doubt it will be a problem for me.
Everyone I've talked to has said that the Nook Color was the best 'gadget' they never spent money on, so I'll probably take the plunge.
