Reading at night is a yes. I do it all the time. You can't read in the dark, if that's what you're asking. You have to have a light on. Reading in the dark is bad for your eyes anyways.

Reading at night would be a No.1 priority for me - when do Amazon think most working people get to read?
I am looking at the BeBook, it seems to have a much more "eye-friendly" screen.

Yup, I have heard it said that Kindle 2 was a bit of step backwards when it comes to the fonts.

Maybe my experience with the Kindle 1 is unique to that device, but I don't have your problem at all. I can read my Kindle anywhere I can read a book, and the week-long battery life makes computer-like competitors (e.g., iPad) uncompetitive. The Kindle 1 apparently renders text with more readable fonts, I understand.
