I agree... reading with a lit display at night works great, and doesn't require the lights to be on in the room. People have claimed that it is bad for the eyes, but I think I have less eye strain when I read on my PDA than with a paper book with small print. And with a PDA, I can enlarge the text on days when my eyes are tired. I'd say reading on a crt or laptop screen is harder on the eyes than reading on a PDA.
