There's the whole reading in bed before going to sleep thing, too. Currently, depending on whether my husband is still awake and watching TV or reading himself, or if the lights are off, I either read on my JBL or on my old Palm Treo 650 with a backlight.

My husband told me flat out yesterday when we talked about the iPad that there would be a lot of grousing if I fired up an 8"x11" backlit screen after lights out. Hah!

Also, I tend to fall asleep while still reading on either device, and they've wound up under the bed, wedged between the bedframe and wall, bumped against the night stand, under the pillow, under DH's backside, and who knows where else.

I don't want to risk a $500 piece of tech like the iPad in these situations, and I do most of my reading before I go to sleep.
