This was actually a big advantage I hadn't anticipated with my Wind--the lowest brightness setting is perfectly comfortable to read in the dark, so when I'm nodding, I just lower the lid and set the netbook on my night stand, which makes a much smoother transition to sleep for me than setting a book aside and setting off the light.

I hadn't considered the page-turns issue, but it's something I find more immersive in my netbook than in pbooks, that I have instantaneous one-button page turns.
