Reading on iPad before bed disrupts sleep - Kindle is OK, with the exception of Kindle Fire
As well know, the iPad contains a touchscreen liquid crystal display that, like computer screens and television sets, emits light. Exposure to such abnormal light sources inhibits the body's secretion of melatonin.
All light-emitting devices, including cellphones, "tell the brain to stay alert." Because users hold those devices so close to their face, staring directly into the light, the effect is amplified compared with, for example, a TV across the room or a bedside lamp.

@UChicagoMed: Is that mostly from the light? The Kindle app and Instapaper both have dark modes that aren't as bright.

iPad use by medical residents gets rave reviews, increases productivity
View more videos at: http://www.nbcchicago.com.
The Internal Medicine Residents at the University of Chicago Medical Center are now equipped with iPads as their primary device for clinical use. In the summer of 2010, the Internal Medicine Residency (IMR) program began piloting a project to study the use of iPads on the inpatient wards. Initiated by the Chairman's Office, the project was intended to enhance efficiency of patient care activities on the wards with the goals of improved patient care and more robust conference attendance.
The pilot was overwhelmingly positive and has led to broader use of the devices for all IMR residents. The DOM Internal Medicine Residency program is the first training program in the country to utilize the device.
As an Assistant Professor at University of Chicago, I work with the residents on a daily basis and I can confirm that they love their iPads.
