Reading iPads in bed -can- be romantic

 

Lately I've been reading reports about how it's not recommended for iPad users to read their devices in bed just before going to sleep. Supposedly the glow from the screen confuses the brain and makes it harder to fall asleep.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I never have trouble falling asleep after reading on my iPad in bed. If the screen seems to bright, I just turn the brightness down. I also find that one of the advantages of reading on an iPad is that I don't have to worry about what reading light is available. 

Plus...I know it's sounds weird...I like it when Jeff and I are reading our iPads together. Sometimes I'll look over at him as he's reading the latest John Gruber post and I'll think how glad I am to have married a technonerdboy.
