They use electronic ink that mimics how text looks on paper. It's not backlit like your computer monitor, iPad, mobile phone, etc. so no strain on your eyes. Now, color e-readers, mobiles, and tablets ARE backlit and I have no idea how someone can read page after page on those lol.

Either way, I also prefer regular old books, but I have an e-reader and it's cool for traveling.
