In case of a CRT monitor set a higher refresh rate that's appropiate for your specific resolution and your needs.
In case of a TFT screen reduce the brightness until it's comfortable for your eyes. TFT screens have intense luminosity on default but fortunately it
can be configured.
As for PhotoReading ebooks on the screen, indeed, it works.
If you use Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader then you might do the way Steve adviced but it requires you to click on every page. This might cause loss of focus for a beginner and s/he might drift off that relaxed state. Of course, once you mastered the technique you can pretty much do it anywhere regardless of the circumstances. Furthemore, for an experienced PhotoReader this does not really matter at all. It's a learned
and applied habit that was reinforced N times already and, thus, it always works.
My alternative is that you should do the following: Edit -> Preferences -> Full Screen -> "Advance every [ ] seconds." Type in the preferred number of seconds. I'd advice either one or two. Not less because it's going to be
too fast but not more either because then you won't be photoreading anymore. Once you've set this click on [OK] and you're done. Click on Full Screen mode using the hotkey CTRL+L
or Views -> Full Screen.
This way you can sit back, do the tangerine technique, generate your required state and once you are done, hit the Full Screen mode and you're all done. Maintain your state, chant your mantra, and remain in your defocused eye gaze... whatever you need and/or prefer to do as an addition.
And, by the way, you won't need to worry about blinking because it takes less than a second anyway and as an addition even if you'd skip one page, the whole material would still make pretty much sense. It is also quite impossible that you will skip those exact same pages if you do it twice or three times in a row.
All in all, the technique works even better on screen because you don't need to actually turn the pages with your hands and this may help you to maintain the required state. That's all. Practice, practice, practice!
