While I agree with the general statement that it isn't that easy, just providing anecdotal evidence doesn't really help a lot.

The problem with all that is that there are a multitudes of factor in play. Contrast, type size, surrounding light, age of the reader, frequency of breaks... A college student reading his textbook on his iPad or Laptop in a well-lit university is different from an insomniac septuagenarian reading "Eat, Pray, Love" in bed, with the light set low to avoid waking hubby.

To anyone who found this link interesting, I highly recommend picking up "The Signature of All Things" by Elizabeth Gilbert (yes the author who wrote Eat, Pray, Love). The Signature of All Things is historical fiction novel about a botanist who is fascinated by moss and her research leads her to discover evolution independently of Darwin.
