Lots of people are bothered by the backlight on their monitor. Lots.

Eye strain != eye disease, or eye damage. A parallel, is you can strain a muscle, and it will be find in a few days with light use.

This is precisely how many feel, when "over exposed" to endless bright light in their eyes.

I looked at their product page, and did not see anything about "permanent damage to your eyes!", but... I certainly could have missed that.

Sadly, I'm being forced to defend a company I dislike greatly, for their phone-home-to-china firmwares in other boox products. I can only imagine what any accompanying software they may include, to auto-adjust/etc the monitor, will entail.
