Yes, even setting the brightness to a minimum I usually get tired at the end of the day (I also spend all day working on a computer). If I need to read on a computer on evenings, I usually try setting my reader to grey/green on black if I can. Of course, the main problem isn't the occasional textbook / dictionary I open on evenings but the time I spend on a computer at work in poor lighting conditions...

Still, on a sunny day, I'd rather be able to go and sit outside in a park, not worrying over battery life (tablets and external batteries solved this) and reflective glare...

An up-to-date version of Entourage's Edge could a great solution...
