Reading is definitely fine... I'd say even without any eyestrain at all.  After all, you normally read in black and white, so why would that be difficult?Windows and Mirrors are a totally different ballgame.  I'd say they work as normal just because it's easier, and because darkvision doesn't specify anything different.  It might be cool to change how they work in darkvision, but I'd make SURE to tell the players before any gaming began that darkvision works like XYZ.-The Souljourner</blockquote>
