Feels like looking at a flashlight at night

I'm aware of the invert b&w, works good in safari. But looks weird and bad for most other apps. I like to still use apps at night.

Is it too much to ask for people to make small adjustments to accommodate their iPad usage? Everybody has different needs, Apple can't design the iPad to satisfy everyone.

The mere act of using an iPad is a process of making adjustments to accommodate it.

There's two settings, 1) for the brightness of the iPad. 2) the brightness on iBooks.

iBooks brightness is lower then the regular brightness for your iPad for reading purposes.

If you're a ranting hater on every topic, then yes, if not, then no, it's a great device that actually requires less change that a normal computer. Much more convenient.

Sure, it lacks a few things, but overall it's a device that is much more convenient to use and the few shortcomings don't matter at all.

(Well, to you haters, yes, they do.)

I don't findnthe minimum brightness too bright, however I do wish the iBooks application would remember it's brightness level only for itself and not change the global level. Always have to remember to change it back before exiting and then set again every time I want to read in bed. Even cooler would be something like "If it's after 10pm and I'm in the iBooks app, drop the brightness level, otherwise don't."

Wiat a sec, doesn't the fact that people have to reduce the brightness in iBooks mean it is too bright in the global setting? I don't use iBooks, but I do use apps that dont have an additional brightness adjustment. What if I want to read a PDF from another app, etc.?

I have similar problems with using my macbook / iphone late at night in bed.

On the macbook, I use a nifty app called Brightness Control (freeware) that lets me set the screen *really* dim. Means I can watch movies without waking up my more saintly half. And longer battery. If I'm working on something in a window, another app called Think will black out everything except the active window.

On the iPhone, Stanza (free ebook app, and one of the best) lets me easily switch it to white type on black background, and a finger swipe on the text I'm reading can dim it right down to nearly black.

I expect Stanza on the iPad will do the same.

But somehow we've all accommodated to that ugly ginger kid you're using as an avatar.
