I love Amazon and use them for the purchase of nearly all of my consumer products.  When it comes to streaming video though, I rarely look to them.  Netflix is my true love for streaming movies, hands down.  My Apple use mainly consists of movie trailers, but thats about it – explanation to follow.  When I sat down for 10 minutes and scribbled down the hours of viewing per month, the break down came to something like this:

It should come at no surprise that staring into a bright light for an extended period of time will keep you awake longer. So, it didn’t surprise me when I saw the article below in the LA Times discussing sleep habits and E-Reading, but it got me thinking. Since acquiring my iPad last year, I have downloaded and read 16 e-books for the B&N, Kindle, and iBooks apps (I like to see the different versions in action), in addition to the dozen or so paper-bound books. In essence, I’ve more than doubled my reading, mostly before bed, getting in an extra hour a night because of the backlit screen. Usually, I will nod off after 10-15 minutes of reading a paperbound book. That’s 4 hours a night during the weeknights, which at my average pace (around 250 words per min) with the averaged sized novel (let’s say 100,000 words) results in about 60% of my reading time. Not bad – thanks Apple.

So, in response, to the LA Time article, I’m not sure I apply to the expert advice. My sleep quality hasn’t changed, of course, my retina will probably have permanent burn-in where I can read text with my eyes shut.
