The first problem with this article is the title. It's not eBooks. It's LCD screens. So the problem could be playing Angy Birds before going to sleep. It's not just reading eBooks it's looking at an LCD screen. So the article is wrong. The next is that they don't stress enough that eInk is not an issue.

The thing is, I've read in bed with an iPad and my phone and had no problems sleeping.
